Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin choose the best quality
  • 6-8 slices prosciutto can replace with bacon or leave out
For the Duxelles
  • 8 ounces mushrooms finely chopped; can substitute with sautéed spinach
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme optional but enhances flavor
For the Pastry
  • 1 sheet puff pastry ensure it's properly thawed

Equipment

  • heavy skillet
  • baking sheet
  • cling film
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely chop about 8 ounces of mushrooms, sauté with 2 finely chopped shallots and a teaspoon of fresh thyme in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until dry and caramelized. Cool completely.
  2. Season a 2-pound beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil, and sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Lay out 6-8 slices of prosciutto on cling film, spread mushroom duxelles on top, place seared tenderloin in center, wrap tightly, and chill for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out a thawed puff pastry into a rectangle. Unwrap the beef and place it in the center of the pastry. Fold over and seal edges, brush with beaten egg.
  5. Transfer the assembled Wellington onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Check internal temperature of beef, aiming for 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
  6. Let the Beef Wellington rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to ensure juices redistribute for tender slices. Serve immediately.
