Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Beef tenderloin The star of the dish, providing rich flavor and tenderness.
  • 1 sheet Puff pastry Creates a flaky, buttery crust that encases the filling.

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz Mushrooms Add earthy depth; finely chop for a smooth filling.
  • 2 medium Shallots Offer a mild onion flavor; sauté until soft for sweetness.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances the overall flavor; use fresh for the best taste.
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard Adds a tangy kick; brush on the beef for extra flavor.
  • 1 egg Egg wash A mixture of egg and water for a golden, shiny finish.
  • 1 tsp Fresh thyme Imparts a fragrant herbal note; use sparingly for balance.
  • 1 cup Beef broth A flavorful base for sauces; use low-sodium for control over saltiness.
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For sautéing the filling; choose extra virgin for the best flavor.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

  • Start by seasoning your beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Sear it in a hot skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Let it cool before slicing into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Make the Mushroom Duxelles

  • Finely chop mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Sauté them in a pan with olive oil until all moisture evaporates. Stir in fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper. Let it cool.

Step 3: Roll Out the Puff Pastry

  • Thaw your puff pastry sheets and roll them out on a floured surface. Cut them into squares large enough to wrap around your beef pieces.

Step 4: Assemble the Wellingtons

  • Place a spoonful of mushroom duxelles on each pastry square. Add a piece of beef on top, then fold the pastry over and seal the edges with a fork.

Step 5: Brush with Egg Wash

  • Beat an egg and brush it over the tops of the pastries for a golden finish. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt for extra flavor.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the Mini Beef Wellingtons for 15-20 minutes until they are puffed and golden brown. Enjoy the aroma!

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious, bite-sized treats with friends and family!
