Prep time: 1 hourCook time: 30 minutesServes: 6
Ingredients
1 (2-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
10 ounces wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup dry white wine
12 slices prosciutto
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
14 ounces puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and let cool.
4. In the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms release moisture and become golden, about 8 minutes.
5. Add garlic and thyme, cooking for another 2 minutes. Pour in the white wine and let it evaporate. Remove from heat and let the duxelles cool.
6. Lay out the prosciutto slices on a large piece of plastic wrap, overlapping them slightly.
7. Spread the cooled mushroom duxelles over the prosciutto evenly.
8. Brush the beef with Dijon mustard and place it on top of the mushroom-covered prosciutto.
9. Roll the beef up tightly in the prosciutto layer, using the plastic wrap to help shape into a log. Chill for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
10. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Unwrap the beef and place it in the center of the pastry.
11. Fold the pastry over the beef, trimming any excess. Seal edges with beaten egg.
12. Brush the entire pastry with egg wash.
13. Place the wrapped beef on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
14. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
