Mini Beef Wellingtons image

I discovered this lovely starter at a wedding I attended. After sampling one, I decided I had to try duplicating the recipe at home. I think my version is a bit easier and faster to prepare, but just as elegant in appearance and just as crowd-pleasing.-Annie De La Hoz, Delta, Colorado

Provided by Gene Gerrard

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the Filet Mignon:
4 (6-ounce) filet mignon steaks (cut 1 1/2 inches thick)
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Mushroom Duxelles:
10 ounces cremini mushrooms
1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
1 small shallot (minced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1/4 teaspoon salt (sea)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
2 1/2 tablespoons dry sherry (or dry vermouth)
For the Beef Wellington:
1 sheet puff pastry (frozen; thawed)
1 large egg (beaten with 2 teaspoons water for egg wash)
1 1/4 cups red wine sauce
Optional: 4 ounces Gorgonzola

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the filet mignon steaks with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
  • In a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the filets and sear for 1 minute on each side.
  • Transfer to a plate, cool, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Clean, stem, and finely chop the cremini mushrooms.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the mushroom liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms begin to brown around the edges.
  • Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the sherry.
  • Return the skillet to the heat, and cook until the liquid has again evaporated. Transfer to a plate and cool completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit inside a baking tray.
  • Prepare the red wine sauce, and keep warm.
  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured board to a 14-inch square. Cut into four 7-inch squares.
  • Remove the seared filets from the refrigerator. Using a paper towel, gently dab them dry to remove any accumulated juices.
  • Compactly press an equal amount of the mushroom duxelles on top of each filet.
  • Lay a filet, mushroom-side down, on a puff pastry square. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash along the edges of the pastry square.
  • Fold one side of the pastry, press down, then fold the adjacent side (like wrapping a package) and press down. Press together the other two sides to seal the pastry. Put the Wellington, with the seal-side down onto the tray. Do the same for the other three Wellingtons.
  • Brush more of the egg wash over the top and sides of each Wellington.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Remove the tray from the oven, and let the Wellingtons rest for 5 minutes.
  • Re-heat the red wine sauce. If using the Gorgonzola, stir it into the sauce, then whisk until melted and smooth.
  • Spoon a little of the sauce onto each plate. Transfer a Wellington on top of the sauce. Cut the Wellington in half on the diagonal, slightly opening the two halves, and spoon a little sauce between the two halves. Serve and enjoy.

MINI BEEF WELLINGTONS

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds beef filet, cut into 12 equal chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, diced finely
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems removed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
One 10-by-15-inch sheet frozen puff pastry, such as Pepperidge Farm, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg yolk, beaten
2 tablespoons sea salt flakes
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Bottled horseradish sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak chunks with salt and pepper. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the steak chunks and sear them for about 45 seconds per side. (The steaks will only be partially cooked at this stage.) Remove and set aside to partially cool.
  • Add the onion and thyme to the same skillet and stir. Allow to continue cooking while you place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated from the skillet, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, then add the Dijon mustard and stir to combine.
  • While the mushrooms are cooking, lay out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 equal squares by cutting 4 long strips, then cutting each strip crosswise 3 times.
  • Place a small amount of the mushroom mixture (known as duxelles) into the center of each square. Top each square with a piece of the steak. Fold the puff pastry up and over the steak, totally encasing the steak and mushroom mixture inside. Place on the prepared baking sheet with the smooth side facing upwards. Repeat with the remaining pastry, duxelles and steak.
  • Brush each bundle with the egg yolk and sprinkle with the sea salt. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve with the horseradish sauce. Enjoy.
