Instructions

Step 1

Sealing the Meat

Step 2

To begin, it is essential to generously season the beef fillet with salt and pepper. In a hot pan, add oil and sear the meat on all sides until browned. This process helps retain the meat's juices. Once seared, it's important to let the fillet cool.

Step 3

Preparing the Duxelles

Step 4

Chop the mushrooms in a food processor until they form a paste. Then, in a hot pan with olive oil, add the chopped shallots and the mushrooms. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid evaporates. Incorporate thyme, minced garlic, and white wine, cooking until the liquid reduces. Then, remove from the heat and let it cool.

Step 5

Assembling the Fillet

Step 6

Place strips of prosciutto on a flat surface, slightly overlapping them. Spread the duxelles mixture over the prosciutto and place the fillet that has been brushed with mustard on top. Carefully wrap the fillet using plastic wrap, ensuring that the ends are well sealed. This helps it maintain its shape during cooking. It’s advisable to refrigerate the package for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7

Final Wrap with Puff Pastry

Step 8

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Place the wrapped fillet in the center and cover it completely, sealing the edges well. Make sure there is no air trapped inside. With a knife, you can make decorative cuts on the top of the pastry. Before baking, brush the surface with a mixture of beaten egg and water, which will give it a shiny golden finish when baked.

Step 9

Baking Process

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the Wellington fillet on a baking tray and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, ensuring the pastry is golden and crispy. Once baked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
