Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef filets (approximately 6 oz each, 1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Season the beef filets generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the filets for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
Step 3
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms, shallot, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until the moisture evaporates and the mixture becomes a paste-like consistency.
Step 4
Deglaze the pan with white wine, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and allow the mushroom mixture (duxelles) to cool completely.
Step 5
On a clean surface, lay out one slice of prosciutto. Spread a thin, even layer of the cooled mushroom mixture on top of the prosciutto. Place a cooled beef filet in the center of the prosciutto, and carefully wrap it around the filet, securing the edges as needed. Repeat with the remaining filets.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry until it's approximately 1/8-inch thick. Cut the pastry into four equal squares, large enough to fully encase each wrapped filet.
Step 7
Place a wrapped filet in the center of a puff pastry square. Fold the pastry over the beef, trimming any excess, and seal the edges by pinching or pressing with a fork. Be sure the seams are on the bottom. Repeat with the remaining filets.
Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of each wrapped filet with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 9
Place the prepared Wellingtons on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes for medium-rare, or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your elegant individual beef Wellingtons!
