6 ServingsPrep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min. + standing

Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves and fresh parsley sprigs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 6 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped
  • 6 sheets refrigerated pie pastry
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup dry red wine or additional beef broth
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional

Directions

  • For pesto, in a food processor, combine 3 tablespoons oil, basil,
  • parsley, Parmesan cheese and salt. Cover and process until smooth;
  • set aside.
  • In a large skillet, brown steaks in 2 tablespoons butter and
  • remaining oil for 5-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches
  • desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read
  • 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove and keep
  • warm. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms until liquid is absorbed.
