  • 1 Tbsp. (15ml) Canola Oil
  • 2 Tsp. (10ml) Salt
  • 2 Tsp. (10ml) Course Black Pepper
  • 2 large eggs whisked together for egg wash

Instructions

  • Season steaks with salt & pepper, Preheat a large skillet over high heat. Place Canola oil and steaks in a hot pan, create a quick sear on all sides. You don’t want to cook the Beef, you just want to create a nice crust. Remove steaks from pan and let rest for ten minutes. If you have purchased sheets of Puff Dough, no need to roll it out, just cut bands of the puff dough that will wrap around the outside of the steak. Wrap the dough around the outside of the Beef Tenderloins, seal with egg wash and brush the outside of the pastry with egg wash. Place the steaks on a cookie sheet and place in a preheated 400 F (204C) Oven for 10-12 min. To reach Medium Rare (Internal steak temp 140 F (60C). Rest 5 minutes before serving.
