BEEF WELLINGTON
Traditional beef Wellington often calls for liver pate, but I prefer the mushroom filling version. This dish has replaced turkey as our standard Christmas fare.

Steps:
- For pastry, combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a firm ball forms. Wrap and chill for 30-60 minutes., In a skillet, saute mushrooms and onions in butter for 18-20 minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Stir in the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until blended. Gradually stir in broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. In a bowl, combine ham and parsley; stir in mushroom mixture. Cover and refrigerate., Place tenderloin on a greased rack in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 30-35 minutes. Remove from the oven; let stand 20-25 minutes. Reduce heat to 400°., On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a 19x14-in. rectangle. Moisten edges. Spread filling to within 1 in. of edges. Place tenderloin in center of pastry; fold short sides of pastry over meat.
