Beef Wellington: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe for 2023

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin
  • 1 pound mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
  • Flour, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper.
  2. 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 once cooled.
  3. In the same skillet, add chopped mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is dry and caramelized. Set aside to cool.
  4. On a sheet of plastic wrap, lay out the prosciutto slices slightly overlapping. Spread the cooled duxelles evenly over the prosciutto.
  5. Place the beef on the mushroom mixture and roll tightly using the plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  6. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle large enough to wrap around the beef.
  7. Remove the beef from the plastic wrap. Place it on the pastry and wrap it tightly, sealing the edges with beaten egg. Trim any excess pastry.
  8. Place the wrapped beef on a baking sheet. Brush with more egg wash and chill for another 15 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  10. Bake the Beef Wellington for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the beef reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  11. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • This recipe yields an impressive dish suitable for special occasions.
  • Allow the beef to reach room temperature before cooking for best results.
  • Ensure the pastry is well sealed to prevent leakage during baking.
