BEEF WELLINGTON
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan and sear the beef on all sides. Let it cool, then brush with Dijon mustard.
- In the same pan, sauté mushrooms, garlic, and thyme until mushrooms release moisture. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates.
- Roll out puff pastry and place the beef in the center. Spread the mushroom mixture over the beef.
- Wrap the puff pastry around the beef, sealing the edges. Brush with the beaten egg.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy your Beef Wellington!
