Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (finely chopped)
  • 4 ounces prosciutto (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the duxelles by sautéing finely chopped mushrooms in olive oil with salt, pepper, and thyme until moisture evaporates (about 10 minutes).
  2. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot skillet for about 2–3 minutes on each side until browned. Let it cool.
  3. Lay prosciutto slices on plastic wrap, spread mushroom duxelles over them, then place the seared beef on top. Roll tightly into a log using the wrap.
  4. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface to encase the beef log fully. Remove plastic wrap and wrap it tightly in the pastry, sealing edges well.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the pastry with egg yolk mixture and bake for approximately 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. While baking, blend basil, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth to make the green sauce.
  7. Serve slices of Beef Wellington alongside green sauce.
