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.

Steps:

• For the beef Wellingtons: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry with a paper towel and season all sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Quickly sear the beef on all sides until well browned, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate to cool.
• Add the shallot to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the mushrooms have softened, begun to brown and released their liquid, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat and let cool.
• On a work surface, roll 1 sheet of puff pastry into a 14-by-10-inch rectangle. Put teaspoon-sized mounds of the mushroom mixture on the pastry, evenly spacing them in 4 rows of 3. Top each mushroom mound with a piece of beef. Brush the tops of the beef with the Dijon mustard. With a sharp knife, cut the pastry into even squares around the fillings.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and egg and brush all four edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg mixture. Working one at a time, pull 2 opposite corners of pastry up over each beef piece, then fold the remaining 2 corners over the top to make a packet. Seal tightly. Invert and arrange the packets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and press them lightly to seal the pastry. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry, mushrooms, beef, and mustard.
• Bake the Wellingtons until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove to a serving platter and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
• For the horseradish cream sauce: Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream, light cream, horseradish and pepper in a small bowl. Serve alongside the beef Wellingtons.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• To the bowl of a food processor, add the mushrooms, garlic, shallots and thyme. Pulse until finely chopped.
• To make the duxelles, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mushroom mixture and sherry and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid released from the mushrooms has mostly evaporated, 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a sheet pan or large bowl. Refrigerate until cool.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry sheet into a 10- by-12-inch rectangle. Cut into twenty 2 1/2-inch squares. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart. Prick each square all over with a fork (leaving about a half inch from each edge untouched).
• In a small bowl, beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water together. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of each square of pastry with the egg wash. To each square, add one piece of prosciutto, then gently press 1 heaping teaspoon of the duxelles into the center. Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the beef cubes with a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and toss with the mustard. Add to the skillet and cook until browned all over, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the pastries to a platter, then add one piece of beef to the center of each pastry, gently pressing down to nestle the beef into the pastry. Drizzle with the Horseradish Sauce, then garnish with the chives.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the mayo, sour cream, horseradish, honey and mustard. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

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.
