Ingredients:
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks

- 3 tablespoons red wine
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 6 phyllo pastry sheets
- Vegetable cooking spray
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Prepare Mushroom Mixture: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped mushrooms and cook until tender.
-
Add Flavor: Pour in the red wine and cook for 2-3 minutes until the liquid has evaporated.
-
Season: Stir in chopped green onions, dried thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Remove from skillet and let cool thoroughly.
-
Cook Steaks: Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Place the beef tenderloin steaks in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, turning once. Ensure the steaks are partially cooked; avoid overcooking.
-
Season Again: Season the steaks with salt and pepper according to taste.
-
Prepare Phyllo Dough: On a flat surface, layer the phyllo pastry sheets, spraying each layer with vegetable cooking spray.
-
Cut and Assemble: Cut the stacked layers lengthwise in half and then crosswise to make 4 equal portions. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled mushroom mixture in the center of each portion, spreading it to the diameter of each steak. Place a cooked steak on top of the mushroom mixture.
-
Wrap and Seal: Bring together all four corners of the phyllo dough around the steak and twist tightly to seal. Lightly spray each wrapped steak with cooking spray.
-
Bake: Place the wrapped steaks on a greased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Rest and Serve: Allow the Mini-Beef Wellingtons to stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy the elegant flavors!
