Description

Beef Wellington is a luxurious and elegant dish featuring tender beef tenderloin coated with a flavorful mushroom duxelles, wrapped in flaky puff pastry, and baked to golden perfection. Ideal for special occasions, this classic British main course delivers a delicious blend of savory flavors and beautiful presentation.

Ingredients

Beef and Seasoning

  • 2½ lb beef tenderloin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Mushroom Duxelles

  • 1 lb mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter

Other

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Season and Sear Beef: Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over high heat and sear the beef on all sides until it develops a rich brown crust. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  2. Prepare Mushroom Duxelles: In the same pan, melt butter and add the finely chopped mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all the moisture evaporates and the mixture turns into a thick paste.
  3. Brush Beef with Mustard: Once the beef has cooled, brush all its surfaces evenly with Dijon mustard to add flavor and help binding.
  4. Assemble with Puff Pastry: Spread the mushroom duxelles evenly over the beef. Roll out the puff pastry and wrap it snugly around the beef, sealing the edges well to contain the filling.
  5. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the exterior of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish after baking.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wrapped beef on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Rest Before Slicing: Remove from the oven and allow the Beef Wellington to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • Chilling the wrapped beef in the refrigerator before baking helps the pastry maintain its shape and prevents shrinking.
  • Serve the Beef Wellington with a rich red wine sauce to complement its flavors.
