Sour cream pastry:

Directions:
Rub meat with salt and pepper and brush lightly with oil. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and light sear. Remove meat from pan and set aside. Melt butter, add the chopped shallots and garlic, saute for 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauce 2-3 minutes longer. Add sherry/red wine and cook 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Drain off liquid and combine with breadcrumbs in bowl of food processor. Process until well blended and nearly smooth. Roll pastry dough to form 4 rectangles about ¼ inches thick. Spoon some of the pate into the center of dough and spread. Place beef on pate, then cover top and sides with dough. Wrap around and form seam. Pinch lightly to seal. Carefully turn over the pastry wrapped beef and place seam side down on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg mixture. Bake for 15-25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Remove and let stand for 10 minutes.
