Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef tenderloin with salt, pepper, and thyme. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove from heat and let cool. Brush with Dijon mustard.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mushroom Duxelles

    Finely chop the mushrooms and sauté them in the same skillet until the moisture evaporates. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Wellington

    Lay out the prosciutto slices on plastic wrap, slightly overlapping. Spread the mushroom mixture over the prosciutto, then place the beef on top. Roll tightly using the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Wrap in Puff Pastry

    Roll out the puff pastry and place the beef roll in the center. Wrap the pastry around the beef, sealing the edges. Brush with egg yolk for a golden finish.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wrapped Wellington on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Let rest before slicing.
