Classic Beef Wellington with Mushroom Duxelles
Tender beef tenderloin seared golden and wrapped in savory mushroom duxelles and crisp puff pastry for a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth finish.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz beef tenderloin
1 cup cremini mushrooms
1 tbsp shallot
0.5 tsp fresh thyme
1 slice prosciutto
0.5 oz puff pastry
1 tsp Dijon mustard
0.5 large egg yolk
0 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Season the beef tenderloin on all sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear the beef until browned on all sides, then remove from the pan and immediately brush with Dijon mustard.
Finely mince the mushrooms and shallot, then sauté them in the same pan with fresh thyme until all moisture has evaporated and the mixture is thick.
Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface, place the prosciutto slice down, and spread the mushroom duxelles evenly over the prosciutto.
Place the seared beef in the center and use the plastic wrap to roll the prosciutto and mushrooms tightly around the beef, then chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Roll the puff pastry out into a thin square, unwrap the chilled beef, and place it in the center of the pastry.
Fold the pastry over the beef to seal it completely, brush the top with the beaten egg yolk, and bake at 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
