Easy Beef Wellington Recipe
- 1 to 2-pound beef filet
- 2 medium onions, finely chopped
- 2 pounds mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 box puff pastry, thawed
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Ingredients:
Using kitchen twine, tie tenderloin in 4 places. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Directions:
Heat oil in a large pan on high heat. In a skillet on medium-high heat, sear the meat on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. After searing, remove the meat from the pan and place it in the fridge, allowing it to cool.
Directions:
While the meat is cooling, cook the mushroom and onion mixture in the same pan, utilizing the leftover flavor from the meat. In a food processor, pulse mushrooms, and shallots until finely chopped.
Directions:
Cook the mixture on medium heat for 1 hour, until all of the moisture is removed. Remove from heat and let cool.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 F.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Utilize one sheet of puff pastry, slightly rolled out and place it on the baking sheet. If you have a larger piece of meat, you may need both sheets.
Directions:
Spread the mushroom and onion mixture onto the puff pastry with a spatula, leaving room on the edges.
Place the prepared meat in the middle of the prepared puff pastry. Wrap the puff pastry around the meat.
Directions:
Mix the egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash on the prepared loaf, then score the top with a knife. Place the beef wellington in the oven and cook for 45 minutes.
Directions:
Once cooked, remove the beef wellington from the oven. Garnish with sprigs of thyme and salt, if desired.
