Lean Beef Tenderloin with Savory Mushroom Duxelles and Crispy Phyllo
Savor a perfectly seared lean beef tenderloin paired with an aromatic mushroom duxelles and finished with a crisp, golden phyllo topping. This dish offers a balance of rich umami flavors and satisfying textures, making it a standout meal for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Beef Tenderloin
1 cup sliced Button Mushrooms
1/2 medium Shallot
1 Garlic clove
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 sheet Phyllo Dough
1 tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F to later crisp the phyllo.
Season the beef tenderloin lightly with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet, sear the beef on all sides over medium-high heat until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set aside to rest.
Meanwhile, finely chop the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic. In the same skillet, add the olive oil and sauté the shallot and garlic until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and thyme, cooking until the mixture is soft and most of the moisture has evaporated, forming a thick duxelles consistency. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the phyllo sheet on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush with a tiny bit of extra olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for about 3-5 minutes, or until just crisp and golden.
To serve, slice the beef tenderloin and top with a generous spoonful of the mushroom duxelles. Garnish with the crispy phyllo either on the side or crumbled over the top. Enjoy this balanced meal while still warm.
