👩‍🍳 How to Make Bobby Flay Beef Wellington

For the Duxelles:

  1. Pulse mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme in a food processor. Then, saute the mixture in butter and olive oil for 8 to 10 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper and let it cool.

For the Beef:

  1. Tie the tenderloin in 4 places. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sear in a hot skillet for 2 to 3 minutes. Lay out prosciutto on plastic wrap, spread with duxelles, season, and sprinkle with thyme. After searing the beef, remove twine, spread with Dijon mustard, wrap in prosciutto, and plastic wrap tightly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  3. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. If needed, overlap and press 2 sheets together.
  4. Place the beef in the center, fold over the longer sides, brush with egg wash, trim ends, and fold over to seal, saving ends for decoration.
  5. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and place seam side down on a baking sheet.
  6. Brush with egg wash, make slits in the top, and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown and beef reaches 125°F.
  7. Let it rest, then garnish with chives and serve with Green Peppercorn Sauce, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Fresh Herbs and Garlic, and Warm Wilted Winter Greens.

Green Peppercorn Sauce:

  1. After removing the beef, add olive oil to the pan. Saute shallots, garlic, and thyme for 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Off the heat, add brandy and flambe. Once the flame dies down, return to the heat, add stock, and reduce by half.
  3. Strain out solids, then add 2 cups cream and mustard.

💭 Recipe Tips

  • Use thinly sliced prosciutto to avoid overwhelming the dish and ensure it cooks evenly within the Wellington.
  • Keep puff pastry chilled for easy handling and a flakier crust; warmth can make it too soft to work with.
  • Pat dry mushrooms to prevent excess moisture in the duxelles, avoiding a soggy bottom in the Wellington.
  • Apply Dijon mustard sparingly; too much can overpower the delicate flavors, so a thin layer is perfect.
