Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallot, and garlic and cook until the mushrooms are tender and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
-
Add the butter and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the white wine and cook until the liquid has evaporated.
-
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
-
Season the filet mignon all over with salt and pepper. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the top of the filet.
-
Roll out the puff pastry to a large rectangle, big enough to wrap around the filet. Place the filet in the center of the puff pastry and brush the edges with the beaten egg.
-
Fold the pastry up and around the filet, pressing to seal the edges. Transfer the filet to a baking sheet and brush the top with the remaining beaten egg.
-
Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
-
Bake the filet for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
-
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
While the filet is resting, make the red wine sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the red wine, beef broth, and 1 tablespoon of butter.
-
Bring to a boil over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water.
-
Stir the cornstarch mixture into the red wine sauce and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Slice the beef Wellington into 1-inch thick slices and serve with the red wine sauce on the side. Enjoy!
