3 lb. filet mignon, trimmed
salt
2 tablespoon butter
1/4 lb. mushrooms, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 pkg. phyllo pastry
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Salt filet. Add 2 tablespoons butter to large pan and brown filet in butter on all sides. Set aside. Saute mushrooms and scallions in the same pan juices for 1 minute. Set aside. Layer about 15 sheets of phyllo together, brushing between each layer with butter. Spread the mushroom mixture in center of phyllo and set the beef on top of mushrooms. Fold the phyllo dough carefully around the beef. Seal all edges with the additional pastry (may not use all pastry) and brush with butter. Place filet carefully into greased casserole and bake 45 minutes or until pastry is golden and flaky. Serve with Bearnaise sauce if desired.
