Best Ever Beef Wellington Recipe

beef tenderloin

salt and pepper

olive oil

mushrooms (we used Bella)

onion (chopped)

garlic

prosciutto

Tablespoons yellow mustard

puff pastry (thawed if using frozen)

eggs (beaten)

Generously salt and pepper your tenderloin.  In a large skillet over medium high heat add the olive oil.  Sear the tenderloin on each side foe about 2-3 minutes until it gets a golden brown crust.  Remove from the heat and set aside.

Sear the Tenderloin

In a food processor, add the mushrooms, garlic, and onion.  Pulse in the food processor until it becomes a puree.  Heat your skillet to medium high and add the mixture.  Sauté the mushrooms until you have the moisture has left.  Remove from heat and let cool.

Prepare the Mushroom Duxelles

Roll out some plastic wrap and lay the prosciutto so they are even and overlap.  Spread the mushroom mixture on top leaving an inch boarder from the sides.  Rub the mustard on the tenderloin and then roll the tenderloin up in the prosciutto and mushroom mixture folding up the sides around the tenderloin as you roll.  Wrap the plastic wrap tightly around the beef and refrigerated for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Roll the puff pastry sheet out on a lightly floured surface.  Place the tenderloin in the center.  Brush the egg mixture around the tenderloin on the sheet and roll the tenderloin tightly in the pastry.  Brush the remaining egg mixture on the outside of the pastry and cut slits in the top.

Wrap the Tenderloin

Bake until the pastry is golden and the beef registers to 120 degrees for medium rare.   About 45 minutes.  Remove the from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Great concept!  I made them a tiny bit larger and served them as an entree at a multi-course dinner where I knew some people would be getting full by the end of the meal and would want a smaller entree.  As I made it, I got 18 "Wellies."  I put one on each of the six guests' plates with buttered green beans.  The remaining wellingtons were divided among several bread baskets for guests to self-serve their second helpings.  I made a sauce of sour cream and black truffle mustard.  
I'm not giving five stars because the recipe and its video give conflicting information about quantities and cooking times.  I wanted to make 12 but was uncertain if the recipe really made 8 (as it says) or 16 or 24.  I made 18 3-inch Wellingtons made with 1 1/2 inch cubes but had leftovers of all the ingredients.  I just browned my cubes and let them cool on a plate to stop them cooking.  Borrowing from Delish's regular Wellington recipe, I added a little small piece of prosciutto to each square of dough.  Then the mushrooms.  Then brushed the top of each piece of meat with dijon and placed it mustard side down on the mushrooms.  I folded up the corners to seal it, and placed it seam side down on parchment in a baking dish.  I refrigerated them till about 15 minutes before baking.  When cooked, the meat was not medium as hoped but they were just delicious!  Will make again!  Delish should edit the recipe and redo the video to make it less confusing, though.

Can Delish weigh in on ability to make ahead and freeze?

I made these last year for a Christmas cocktail party and they were a huge hit!  Making them again!

It takes a little time to put this dish together, but it's simple to do...and the results are outstanding and delicious.
