SIR WINSTON'S BEEF PHYLLO

Steps:

• Trim all fat from beef tenderloin. Season with salt and pepper. Sear on all sides. Allow to cool.
• Cover tenderloin completely with the duxelles mixture. Take a sheet of phyllo and brush with olive oil. Wrap the tenderloin with the phyllo. Tenderloin must be completely covered.

Place in a preheated 450-degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes for medium to medium rare. Remove from oven and slice tenderloin in 8 equal slices. Place equal amount of sauce on each plate and place meat on top of sauce.
