Ingredients

Scale

1 lb beef tenderloin
1 sheet puff pastry (approx. 14 oz)
2 cups finely chopped mushrooms
2 shallots, finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 egg (for egg wash)
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients by chopping mushrooms and shallots.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sear the beef tenderloin for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove and let rest.
In the same skillet, add mushrooms and shallots; cook until moisture evaporates (5-7 minutes). Stir in thyme, rosemary, and Dijon mustard.
Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface into a rectangle. Place cooled mushroom mixture and seared beef in the center, then fold the pastry over tightly.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush assembled Wellington with egg wash before baking on a lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
