Cooking For Two: Beef Wellington - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 Beef Tenderloin Steaks [6 oz, 1 1/2 inches thick]
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 jar Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Sauce [8 oz]
1 can Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 Egg [lightly beaten]
1 tablespoon Water [cold]

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 375\u00b0F. Line small cookie sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle pepper on both sides of steaks.
2. In heavy 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add steaks; cook about 1 minute on each side, turning once, or until browned. Transfer steaks to plate. Spread top of each with 1 tablespoon pesto. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand 20 minutes at room temperature to cool down for easier handling.
3. Meanwhile, on lightly floured work surface, separate dough into 2 rectangles; firmly press perforations to seal. Roll out each rectangle into 5 1/2-inch square. With 1 1/2- to 2-inch heart-shaped cutter, cut 2 heart shapes from 2 corners of each dough square; set hearts aside.
4. Place 1 steak pesto side down in center of 1 dough square. Fold opposite corners up and around steak; repeat with remaining 2 corners. Smooth and shape dough to encase steak; place seam side down on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining steak and dough square.
5. In small bowl, beat egg and water well with fork or whisk. Lightly brush top and sides of dough with egg mixture. Place 2 dough hearts on top of each overlapping slightly; lightly brush hearts with egg mixture.
6. Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown and thermometer inserted in center of steak reads 145\u00b0F. Let stand at room temperature 3 minutes before serving. (Temperature will rise at least 10\u00b0 to 15\u00b0 during standing time.)
