Ingredients
  

Beef and Duxelles
  • 1 kg beef tenderloin trimmed and tied
  • 300 g mushrooms finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 egg beaten for egg wash
Pastry
  • 500 g puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 tbsp flour for dusting

Method
 

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