Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 2 cup flour
- 6 cup branches fresh rosemary
- 2 pound beef tenderloin
- 1 pint black mission figs, halved
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Preparation
Baking Directions:
1.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
For the dough, whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until frothy.
Add the herbs, salt, and 1/2 cup cold water.
Stir in the flour and knead until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
2.Roll the dough out on a well-floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
Season with salt and pepper and lay the rosemary branches over the dough.
Fold the dough around the beef and pinch the seams together.
Trim off the excess pastry.
Place on a baking pan and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Remove to a cutting board.
3.Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sprinkle the figs with the sugar.
Put the figs, cut-side down, in the skillet and sear until caramelized, about 2 minutes.
4.To serve the beef, bring the cutting board to the table, cut through the pastry, and slice the beef, discarding the pastry and rosemary.
