Beef Wellington is a show-stopping classic that combines tender beef fillet wrapped in layers of mushroom duxelles, savory prosciutto, and golden puff pastry. This elegant dish is the epitome of gourmet dining, delivering a rich contrast of textures from the crisp, flaky crust to the succulent beef inside.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Season the beef fillet generously with salt and pepper. Sear it on high heat until browned on all sides, then let it cool.
Finely chop mushrooms and sauté in a pan until all moisture evaporates, forming a rich mushroom duxelles.
Lay prosciutto slices on cling film, spread with duxelles, and place the beef fillet on top. Roll tightly into a log and chill.
Roll out puff pastry, place the wrapped beef in the center, and encase fully, sealing edges carefully.
Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish, score lightly for decoration, and chill again before baking.
