"This spicy spin-off of traditional Beef Wellington is so attractive that it's perfect for a special occasion," says Jenni Dise of Phoenix, Arizona. "If you like extra-spicy fare, choose a hot salsa rather than mild or medium."

Wild West Wellingtons Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

15 20 35

Ingredients

2 beef tenderloin steaks (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup canned chopped green chilies
1/2 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 teaspoons beaten egg
1/2 teaspoon water
Salsa, optional

Directions

Sprinkle steaks with salt, cumin and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown steaks on both sides; remove and keep warm. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and chilies; set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a 16-in. x 12-in. rectangle. Cut into two 12-in. x 8-in. rectangles. Place a steak on one side of each rectangle; top with cream cheese mixture. Fold pastry over meat; seal seams. Place seam side down on a rack in a shallow baking pan.
Combine egg and water; brush over pastry. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with salsa if desired. Yield: 2 servings.

I made this for my father in law on Father's Day a couple years ago. It was so simple to prepare, was very elegant in appearance, and tasted fantastic. He absolutely loved it. I can't wait for another occasion to make this!
