Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef fillets (approximately 6 oz each)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Shallots (finely diced)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 8 slices Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets (thawed if frozen)
- 1 piece Large egg (beaten)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for rolling pastry)
Instructions
Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef fillets for 1 minute per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let cool.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme until mushrooms release their liquid and the mixture becomes dry, about 10 minutes. Let the mushroom duxelles cool completely.
Brush Dijon mustard evenly over each seared beef fillet.
On a piece of plastic wrap, lay two slices of prosciutto slightly overlapping. Spread a thin layer of mushroom duxelles over the prosciutto.
Place one beef fillet on the mushroom-covered prosciutto. Use the plastic wrap to tightly roll the prosciutto and mushrooms around the beef. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to secure and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into two squares large enough to wrap each beef fillet.
Unwrap each beef fillet from the plastic wrap and place it in the center of a puff pastry square. Fold the pastry over the beef, sealing the edges tightly. Trim any excess pastry and press to secure. Place the seam side down.
Brush the beaten egg over each pastry-wrapped fillet to ensure golden-brown crusts.
Place the Wellingtons on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the beef reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
