Beef Wellington

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

2. 2

   Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan over high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove from the pan and let it cool.

3. 3

   Finely chop the mushrooms and sauté them in the same pan until they release their moisture and become dry. Let them cool.

4. 4

   Brush the beef with Dijon mustard.

5. 5

   Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Spread the sautéed mushrooms over the pastry.

6. 6

   Place the beef on top of the mushrooms and wrap the pastry around the beef, sealing the edges.

7. 7

   Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry to glaze.

8. 8

   Place the wrapped beef on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

9. 9

   Let the Beef Wellington rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
