Preheat oven to 425°F.
Beat egg and mix with water to make egg wash.
Roll out pastry. Remove beef from fridge and cling wrap. Place beef in center of pastry. Fold over one side length wise. Brush edge with egg wash and the fold over other side length wise. Trim pastry as needed. Then brush edges on the ends with egg wash and seal the beef inside the pastry completely. Brush top of pastry with egg wash. Score the top of the pastry slightly. Sprinkle top with coarse salt if you desire.
