Mini Beef Wellingtons with Mushrooms & Gorgonzola image

Golden puff pastry encases a tender filet mignon, together with a savory mushroom-shallot mixture and a touch of Gorgonzola cheese to make an elegant and appetizing main dish.

Time 3h40m

Yield Serves: 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds beef tenderloin steak(8 filet mignons each 1/2 inch thick)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 package (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets(2 sheets), thawed according to package directions
1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season the beef with black pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for 10 minutes, turning the beef over once during cooking. Remove the beef to a plate. Cover the plate and refrigerate for 1 hour or until the beef is cold.
  • Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots and garlic and season with black pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, stirring often. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and let cool.
  • Sprinkle the work surface with the flour. Unfold the pastry sheets on the floured surface. Roll the pastry sheets into 2 (14-inch) squares. Trim the edges to form 2 (13-inch) squares. Cut each square into 4 squares, making 8 squares in all.
  • Place 1 tablespoon Gorgonzola in the center of each pastry square. Divide the mushroom mixture evenly among the pastry squares. Top each with 1 filet mignon. Fold 2 opposite pastry corners over the beef, overlapping slightly, and press to seal. Brush with the egg. Repeat with the remaining pastry corners.
  • Place the pastry-wrapped beef seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate the pastry-wrapped beef and the remaining egg for 1 hour or overnight.
  • Heat the oven to 425°F. Brush the pastry-wrapped beef with the remaining egg. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the temperature of the beef is 117°F. Serve immediately.
  • Recipe Note: Parchment paper keeps the pastry from sticking to the baking sheet and also makes for easier cleanup. If you don't have parchment paper, you can spray the baking sheet with cooking spray instead. However, cooking spray may cause the bottoms of the pastries to brown more quickly, so begin checking for doneness 5 minutes early.

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.
