I love liver pate. Here is a recipe using it from the Underwood web site. I used cubbed steaks though, because it was what I had, and it turned out delicious. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons softened butter or 5 tablespoons margarine, divided |
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms |
1 small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup) |
4 beef tenderloin steaks, seasoned with salt and pepper (about 6 oz. each) |
1 (17 1/3 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed (2 sheets) |
1 (4 1/4 ounce) can liverwurst spread |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon water |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can beef broth |
1/2 cup red wine |
1 small shallot, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons) |
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon finely chopped italian parsley |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 tbsp of butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat; cook mushrooms and onion until tender and liquid is evaporated; season with salt and pepper and cool slightly.
2. Cut thawed pastry into four portions. Place one-fourth of mushroom mixture in center of each portion of pastry. Spread one-fourth of Liverwurst Spread over one side of each steak. Place steaks, liverwurst side down, over mushrooms; wrap pastry around meat. Trim excess pastry and seal ends. Place pastry-wrapped meat, seam sides down, in greased, shallow baking pan.
3. Beat egg and water and brush pastry. (You can reroll trimmings to make cutouts. Place cutouts on pastry-wrapped meat. Brush again with egg.) Bake, uncovered in 400 F oven for 15 minutes, until pastry is golden and meat is medium-rare. (To test doneness of meat insert thermometer into pastry; it should register 145°F for medium-rare.)
4. SAUCE: In medium saucepan, combine broth, wine, shallot and thyme; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5-7 minutes (until reduced to 1 1/2 cups). In small bowl, mix 4 tbsp butter and flour until smooth. Add to wine mixture; cook until thickened and bubbly. Simmer 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add parsley. Serve with beef.
