Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup pâté (optional)

For the Assembly:

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen
  • Flour for dusting
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions:

  1. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove from the pan and let it cool.
  2. In the same skillet, add chopped mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown. Remove excess liquid.
  3. Blend the mushroom mixture to a coarse paste. This is known as mushroom duxelles.
  4. Brush the cooled beef with Dijon mustard. Optionally, spread a layer of pâté over the beef.
  5. Spread a layer of mushroom duxelles over the beef.
  6. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Place the beef in the center and wrap it with the puff pastry, sealing the edges.
  7. Chill the wrapped beef in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the pastry to firm up.
  8. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  9. Brush the puff pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  10. Place the Beef Wellington Turnover on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
  11. Allow the Beef Wellington Turnover to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute.
  12. Serve the Beef Wellington Turnover slices on a platter, and enjoy the layers of flavors.

ENJOY!!
