Ingredients

  • 4 beef tenderloins (3 to 4 oz each), frozen for 45 minutes
  • 1 pkg (2 crusts) Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts (at room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup (250 mL) sliced white mushrooms, chopped (about half 8 oz package)
  • 4 tbsp (60 mL) pate (any type)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) each, maple syrup and balsamic vinegar
  • 1 egg, beaten

    Heat oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Cut each pie crust circle into fourths (8 pieces) and trim to make squares of dough to fit the tenderloins. Place one filet in centre of four of the dough squares. Spread top of each filet with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of pate and top with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of the mushroom-bacon mixture. Moisten edges of each dough square with beaten egg and cover with remaining four dough squares. Seal edges well and brush with beaten egg. If desired, make decorative shapes out of dough scraps and place on top; brush again with beaten egg.
