How to Make Individual Beef Wellington

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the duxelles: Sauté the mushrooms, shallots, and thyme in butter until softened and any moisture has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the duxelles evenly over the sliced beef filets. Top each with a spoonful of liver pâté (or mushroom pâté).
  4. Tightly roll up each filet, ensuring it is secure. Wrap each tightly in prosciutto.
  5. Unfold the puff pastry sheets and roll them out slightly if needed. Place each rolled filet in the center of a puff pastry sheet.
  6. Fold the pastry over the filet, tightly sealing the edges. Crimp the edges to create a decorative seal.
  7. Brush the pastry with egg wash and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  8. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with Pommes Anna, a green salad, and a decadent chocolate dessert.
