Elegant, bite-sized beef wellingtons wrapped in buttery puff pastry, perfect for entertaining or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Beef tenderloin, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • Mushrooms, finely chopped (cremini and shiitake recommended)
  • Shallots, minced
  • Fresh thyme
  • Dry white wine
  • Dijon mustard
  • Prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • Frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • Egg, beaten
  • Flour, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the beef tenderloin into 2-inch cubes and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and sear the beef cubes for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and let cool.
  4. In the same skillet, cook minced shallots for 1 minute. Add chopped mushrooms and sauté until softened and moisture is released, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in thyme and deglaze the pan with white wine. Cook until liquid evaporates, then let cool completely.
  5. Roll out thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into squares large enough to wrap around the beef cubes.
  6. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each beef cube. Wrap each cube in a slice of prosciutto. Place the beef in the center of a puff pastry square and spoon a small amount of mushroom filling on top. Fold the corners of the pastry over the beef, sealing the edges with a pinch or fork.
  7. Brush the tops of the pastry with beaten egg.
  8. Place the Wellingtons on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  9. Allow the Wellingtons to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the beef; a quick sear is sufficient.’, ‘Keep puff pastry cold to prevent sticking.’, ‘Seal pastry edges well to avoid leaks during baking.’, ‘Prepare mushroom filling and sear beef ahead of time for convenience.’, ‘Watch the oven closely to prevent burning.’]
