Scale
Ingredients
- 2 lb beef tenderloin (center-cut)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 12 slices prosciutto
- 1 lb mushrooms (cremini or button), finely chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (egg wash)
- Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
Instructions
- Sear the beef: Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear beef on all sides until browned. Remove and brush with Dijon mustard. Let cool completely.
- Make the duxelles: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Cook until all moisture evaporates and mixture is thick. Cool completely.
- Wrap: Lay prosciutto slices on plastic wrap, slightly overlapping. Spread mushroom duxelles evenly over prosciutto. Place beef on top and tightly roll using plastic wrap. Chill 20–30 minutes.
- Pastry wrap: Roll out puff pastry. Remove plastic wrap from beef and place in center of pastry. Wrap tightly, sealing edges. Chill again for 15 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with flaky salt.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until pastry is golden and internal temperature reaches desired doneness.
- Rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, ensure all components are fully cooled before wrapping to prevent soggy pastry. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness—125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare.
