Method
Prepare the Duxelles
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add chopped mushrooms and thyme, cook until moisture evaporates, about 10 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, then let cool.
Sear the Beef
- Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan until hot, then sear the beef on all sides for 2-3 minutes each side.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
Assemble the Wellington
- Lay prosciutto slices on a sheet of cling film, slightly overlapping.
- Spread the cooled duxelles over the prosciutto.
- Place the beef on top and roll tightly using the cling film. Chill for 15 minutes.
Wrap in Pastry
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 3mm thick.
- Unwrap the beef from cling film and place in the center of the pastry.
- Wrap the pastry around the beef, sealing the edges with beaten egg.
Bake the Wellington
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Place the wrapped Wellington on a baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and score the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 55°C (130°F) for medium rare.
Serve

- Serve with your choice of sides.

Notes
For best results, use high-quality beef and ensure the pastry is well sealed to prevent leakage.
