Description
Elegant individual beef Wellingtons featuring tender beef fillets, savory mushroom duxelles, and golden puff pastry. Perfect for special occasions, holidays, or dinner parties.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 6 (8-ounce) beef tenderloin fillets
- 1 (17.5-ounce) package frozen puff pastry, partially thawed
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook mushrooms, sherry, onion, butter, and parsley over medium heat, stirring often, until mushrooms are browned and liquid evaporates (15–20 minutes). Cool mixture.
- Spoon mushroom mixture onto each beef fillet.
- Cut puff pastry sheets into 3 equal rectangles, for 6 total. Roll each to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Place a beef fillet in the center of each piece of pastry. Fold and seal edges tightly.
- Arrange wrapped Wellingtons on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 25 minutes, until pastry is golden and internal temperature of beef reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Sear fillets briefly on all sides before wrapping for more flavor and to lock in juices.
- Brush Dijon mustard on beef before adding mushroom topping for extra tang.
- Add garlic or thyme to mushrooms for enhanced flavor.
- Use leftover pastry to cut decorative shapes for topping.
