Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place beef tenderloin in a baking dish. Spread 2 tablespoons softened butter over beef.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove beef from the pan and reserve pan juices; allow beef to cool completely.
  4. 4 Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  5. 5 Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and mushrooms in butter for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  6. 6 Mix paté and remaining 2 tablespoons softened butter together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spread paté mixture over beef. Top with onion and mushroom mixture.
  7. 7 Roll out puff pastry dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and place beef in the center.
  8. 8 Fold up and seal all the edges, making sure the seams are not too thick. Place beef in a 9x13-inch baking dish, cut a few slits in the top of dough, and brush with egg yolk.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and continue baking until pastry is a rich, golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 122 to 130 degrees F (50 to 54 degrees C) for medium rare. Set aside to rest.
  10. 10 Meanwhile, place reserved pan juices in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir in beef broth and red wine; boil until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Strain and serve with beef.
  11. 11 Serve hot and enjoy!
