On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry sheet into a 14 x 9 ½ inch rectangle. Cut in half to make two 7 x 9 ½ inch rectangles.

Cut three small slits in the top of each pastry bundle.

Brush all over the pastry bundles with beaten egg.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and meat reaches desired doneness. For medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145 degrees F (62.78 C), for medium 160 degrees F (71.11 C), for well-done 170 degrees F (76.67 C).
