Directions

Step

Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the beef on all sides until browned. Let it cool.

Step

Lay out the prosciutto slices on a sheet of plastic wrap, slightly overlapping. Place the beef on top and roll it tightly, using the plastic wrap to help. Chill in the refrigerator.

Step

In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Sauté the mushrooms, garlic, and thyme until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates.

Step

Deglaze the pan with white wine, cooking until the liquid is absorbed. Let the mushroom mixture cool.

Step

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Unwrap the beef from the prosciutto and place it in the center of the pastry.

Step

Spread the mushroom mixture over the prosciutto-covered beef.

Step

Fold the pastry over the beef, sealing the edges. Brush with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step

Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Step

Allow the Beef Wellington to rest before slicing and serving.

Tips for this recipe

For an added layer of flavor, consider spreading a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the beef before wrapping it in prosciutto. This introduces a subtle kick that complements the richness of the dish.
