Beef Wellington

Servings: 4

Ingredients
400g beef fillet Low fat cooking spray
200g mushrooms, chopped finely
2 shallots, chopped finely
150g of low fat creme cheese
1 tablespoon of freshly chopped sage
12 x 14g sheets of filo pastry
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Recipe
1. Pre heat the oven to gas mark 7/220c or fan oven 200c.
2. Cut the beef into four equal portions and season. Lightly coat a non-stick frying pan with low fat cooking spray and heat until hot. Add the meat and cook for three to four minutes until browed all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Spray the pan again with low fat cooking spray and all the mushrooms and shallots. Cook, stirring, for ten minutes over a medium heat until the mushroom juices have been realised and evaporated.
4. Place the soft cheese in a bowl and beat until smooth. Add the mushrooms mixture and sage and mix well.
5. Lightly coat a baking tray with low fat cooking spray.
6. Lay one sheet of filo pastry on a board and spray with low fat cooking spray. Add another sheet and spray that, topping with a final sheet. Place a piece of beef in the middle of the sheets, spoon on a quarter of the mushrooms mixture and wrap up. Carefully place on the baking tray and spray with low fat cooking oil.
7. Bake the parcels for ten minutes until the pastry is golden and crispy. (Serve with boiled potatoes, carrots and green beans, with a beef gravy.)
