Ingredients

• 1 lb beef tenderloin, cut into 8 small medallions
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 large eggs, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Season the beef medallions with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef medallions for 1 minute on each side until browned but not cooked through. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, chopped mushrooms, and thyme. Season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushroom mixture (duxelles) is dry and fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (for a total of 8 squares).

Step 5

Place a small spoonful of the cooled mushroom mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Top with a seared beef medallion. Add a small crumble of Gorgonzola cheese on top of the beef.

Step 6

Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg. Fold the pastry over the beef and mushroom filling, sealing the edges and forming a neat packet. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the Wellingtons with more beaten egg for a golden glaze.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the Wellingtons to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
