      Title: Individual Beef Wellington
 Categories: Beef, Pastry, Vegetables, Herbs, Wine
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
    1/4 ts (ea) salt & pepper
    1/4 ts Dried marjoram; crushed
      2    (4 to 6 oz ea) beef
           - tenderloin steaks
      1    Sheet frozen puff pastry;
           - thawed
      2 tb Deli or canned mushroom or
           - liver pate
      1    Beaten egg white
    3/4 c  Water
    1/3 c  Dry red wine
      1 tb Fine chopped shallot or
           - onion
    1/2 ts Instant beef bouillon
           - granules
    1/4 ts Dried thyme; crushed
      1    Bay leaf
      2 tb Butter; softened
      1 tb All-purpose flour
  1 1/2 ts Snipped parsley
 
  In a small bowl stir together salt, pepper, and marjoram.
  Rub salt mixture over steaks, coating all sides.
  
  Cut thawed pastry into 2 portions. Spread 1 tablespoon
  pate over one side of each steak. Place a steak, pate side
  down, on the center of each portion of pastry. Wrap pastry
  around meat. Trim excess pastry from ends; seal ends.
  
  Place pastry-wrapped meat, seam sides down, in a greased,
  shallow baking pan. Brush pastry with beaten egg white. If
  desired, reroll trimmings to make cutouts. Place cutouts
  on pastry-wrapped meat. Brush with beaten egg white.
  
  Bake, uncovered, in a 425ºF/218ºC oven about 15 minutes or
  until pastry is golden and meat is medium-rare. If
  desired, test doneness of meat by inserting a meat
  thermometer into pastry-wrapped meat. Medium-rare is 145
  degrees F.
  
  Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine water, dry red
  wine, finely chopped shallot or onion, instant beef
  bouillon granules, dried thyme, crushed; and 1 bay leaf.
  Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 to
  7 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup. Remove
  bay leaf.
  
  Stir together softened margarine or butter and all-purpose
  flour. Add to wine mixture. Cook and stir until thickened
  and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Stir in
  snipped parsley. Serve with pastry-wrapped beef.
  
  Makes 2 servings. Recipe may be doubled to serve 4.
