Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) center-cut beef filet
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 3 slices turkey
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sear the Beef: Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear the filet for 1–2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from heat and brush with Dijon mustard while warm.
- Make Mushroom Duxelles: Finely chop mushrooms using a chef’s knife. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat, then add garlic and thyme; sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until moisture evaporates; cool completely.
- Assemble: Lay turkey slices flat on plastic wrap overlapping slightly, spread mushroom mixture evenly on top, place beef in center, roll tightly using plastic wrap; chill for 15 minutes.
- Wrap in Puff Pastry: Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Remove plastic wrap from meat roll and place it on pastry. Wrap beef with pastry; seal edges with egg wash and brush top with yolk.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place wrapped Wellington on baking sheet; bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
