A classic Beef Wellington combining tender beef fillet, mushroom duxelles, and flaky puff pastry, baked to golden perfection.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb beef tenderloin, center-cut
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup shallots, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Sheet of puff pastry (about 14×14 inches)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions

  1. Sear the beef in hot olive oil until browned on all sides; let cool. Brush with Dijon mustard.
  2. Cook mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme in butter until moisture evaporates; allow to cool.
  3. Spread mushroom mixture on the cooled beef, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and chill.
  4. Roll out puff pastry, place beef in center, and fold to enclose completely. Brush with egg wash.
  5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Rest before slicing.

Notes

  • Ensure beef is properly cooled before wrapping to prevent soggy pastry.
