Ingredients
  

For the Beef:

  • 2 lb beef tenderloin trimmed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

For the Duxelles:

  • 1 lb mushrooms finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 shallots minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pastry:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons flour for rolling

Optional:

  • 2 oz prosciutto slices
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
  

Sear the Beef

  • Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sear beef 2–3 minutes per side until browned.

Brush with Mustard

  • Remove beef from heat. Let cool slightly. Brush all sides with Dijon mustard evenly.

Prepare the Duxelles

  • In a pan, melt butter. Add shallots and garlic, sauté 2–3 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme. Cook until moisture evaporates.

Wrap with Prosciutto (Optional)

  • Lay prosciutto slices on plastic wrap. Spread mushroom duxelles over prosciutto. Place beef on top and wrap tightly. Chill 10 minutes.

Roll Out Puff Pastry

  • Lightly flour a surface. Roll puff pastry slightly larger than beef.

Assemble Wellington

  • Place beef in the center of pastry. Fold edges to cover completely. Seal and trim excess pastry.

Brush with Egg Wash

  • Brush puff pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake the Wellington

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place Wellington on baking sheet. Bake 30–35 minutes until pastry is golden and internal beef temperature reaches 125–130°F for medium-rare.

Rest Before Serving

  • Remove from oven. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness
  • Chill wrapped beef before baking for easier handling
  • Substitute cremini mushrooms for more earthy flavor
  • Add a thin layer of pâté for richer taste
  • Serve with red wine sauce, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes
  • Brush pastry twice with egg wash for extra golden finish
