Fillets of Beef Gourmet Method

Brush the fillet of beef with brandy then trim it neatly and slice into 12 equal parts. Trim the ham slices to the same size and shape as the beef slices. Saute the chopped mushrooms and finely sliced onion in the butter until soft then flavour lightly with salt and pepper. Spread each slice of ham with the mushroom mixture. Sandwich the ham slices between the slices of beef then reform the fillet. There should be a little mushroom mixture left over. Skewer through the centre to hold the meat and filling together then wrap in foil and bake in a moderate oven at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly then remove the foil.

Season the meat with salt and pepper and spread the left over mushroom mixture on the top. Roll the flaky pastry thinly making a piece that is large enough to completely cover the meat. Place on a shallow oven tray and brush with cold water and bake the Fillets of Beef Gourmet in a hot oven at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Brush with beaten egg yolk and return the Fillets of Beef Gourmet to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes or until the crust is brown. Serve the Fillets of Beef Gourmet with vegetables.
