1½ pounds Fillet mignon, room temp
1 tablespoon Red pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Melted butter

2 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Flour
2 tablespoons Grated sweet onions
¼ cup Chopped pecans
¼ cup Chopped mushrooms
1 teaspoon Grated orange rind
2 tablespoons Port wine
8 Sheets phyllo pastry
2 tablespoons Melted butter

Directions

Rub melted butter & pepper sauce into the meat, kneading it with fingers. Oil a broiler rack & cook the meat for about 7 minutes on each side until well seared on the outside & very rare on the inside.

In a saucepan melt 2 Tbls. butter blend in the flour then add onions & pecans & cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat & add the mushrooms, orange rind & port. Stir & set aside. Carefully separate the phyllo sheets & fold each in half. Cut the meat into 8 small thick steaks. Place each one in center of pastry sheet. Spread some sauce over each steak & fold the pastry over the meat, tucking it underneath, to seal each package. Place on a baking sheet & brush with melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400, until pastry is golden.
