Cool slightly; refrigerate until chilled., Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry into a 14x9-1/2-in. rectangle. Cut out two 7-in. squares, reserving scraps. , Rub steaks with garlic and top with cheese; place steaks, cheese side down, in the center of each pastry square. Lightly brush pastry edges with egg. Bring opposite corners of pastry over steaks; pinch seams to seal tightly. Place seam side down on an ungreased baking sheet. Cut small slits in top of pastry; brush with egg., Using lightly floured small cookie cutters, cut out shapes from reserved pastry. Arrange over wrapped steaks; brush shapes with egg., Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Serve with steaks.

Steps:

• Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add steaks; cook 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°)., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and horseradish until blended. Serve with steaks. Sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Pat meat dry and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add fillets and cook to desired doneness, 4 to 5 minutes for medium. Transfer filets to a serving plate and pour off fat from the skillet. Add wine and bring to a boil to deglaze pan. Stir in stock and cream and boil sauce until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add tomatoes and basil and blend well.
• Pour sauce over beef on the serving plate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Season filets with kosher salt and pepper.
• Heat an oven-proof pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
• Add oil and heat briefly.
• Sear filets in oil on one side for 4-5 minutes. Turn them over, place the pan in the oven, and roast to desired doneness. (For medium rare that would be approximately 7 minutes.).
• Allow filets to rest 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220ºC (200ºC fan assisted oven)/425ºF/Gas 7.
• Heat the butter in a heavy based frying pan and quickly seal the steaks on all sides so they are just browning. Remove from pan and allow to cool on kitchen paper.
• Add the onions to the pan and cook slowly for approximately 10 minutes until brown and tender, cool on kitchen paper.
• Cut the pastry into 4 equal pieces and roll each one sufficiently large to be able to wrap up the steaks. Place one eighth of the onions in the centre of each pastry piece, top with a generous teaspoonful of horseradish and then sit a steak on top. Top the meat with the evenly divided remaining onions.
• Brush the edges of one pastry piece with beaten egg and bring the sides up to meet over the meat. Press together firmly so that the filling is totally sealed in like a parcel, turn over and place on a lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pastry/steak stacks. Make 2-3 cuts in the tops of the parcels, brush with beaten egg.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until pastry is golden brown and depending on how rare you like the steak. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese with the garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper, to taste. Chill until the mixture firms up, at least 15 minutes.
• Cut an "X" into the top of each filet, almost but not quite all the way through the steak. Open the "X" with your fingers and stuff with 1 or 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, packing the cheese well and level with the top of the steak. Chill the steaks in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, to firm up the cheese. Meanwhile, make the Bordelaise Sauce.
• To cook the steaks, preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet until very hot but not smoking. Sear the steaks, cut side down, until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Flip the steaks carefully, using a spatula to get under the crispy cheese crust so it doesn't stick to the pan. Sear the other side for 1-2 minutes, then finish them in the oven to the desired doneness (6-8 minutes for medium-rare). To serve, spoon warm Bordelaise Sauce over the steaks.
• Place the wine, shallots, and thyme in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup. Add the stock and reduce again to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in the butter, bit by bit, until the sauce is thick and glossy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
