Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin, cut into 24 (1-inch) cubes
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 10 ounces cremini mushrooms, stemmed and finely chopped
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed (recommended: Dufour)

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry with a paper towel and season all sides with salt and pepper. Quickly sear the beef on 2 sides only until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes total; do not overcook. Transfer to a plate to cool.

Add the mushrooms and cook until beginning to brown and release liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and continue cooking until mushroom mixture dries out, is golden brown and shallots are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.

Preheat to the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

On a work surface, roll 1 sheet of puff pastry to a 10 by 14-inch rectangle. Put teaspoon-sized mounds of mushroom mixture on the pastry, evenly spacing them in 4 rows of 3. Top the mushroom mound with a piece of beef, seared side up. With a sharp knife, cut the pastry into even squares around the meat and mushrooms. Working 1 at a time, pull 2 opposite sides of pastry up over each beef piece, then fold the ends over the top to make a packet. Invert and arrange the packets seam side down on the baking sheet and press them lightly to seal the pastry. Repeat with the remaining beef, mushrooms, and pastry.

Bake the Wellingtons until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven to a serving platter and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

    I made this last night and it was delicious! The beef tenderloin was very pricey though.

    Delicious, easy, and fun to make. I agree with others, just don't overcook the meat and you will be fine. Ours was tender, not overcooked. I cooked my cubed beef for only a minute on each side. Also, keep an eye on the pastry in the oven; ours cooked in less than 20 minutes. I used Filet Mignon instead of beef tenderloin, which is cheaper and still tender. I also added bacon, which I think dramatically enhanced the flavor. I put the bacon in, then mushrooms, then shallots in that order. With the leftover meat sauce, I created a sauce that was delicious! This also goes really well with mustard. I served mine with a side of broccoli and cold sliced tomatoes. I might recreate this dish with chicken and peppers. Its really easy. I also got rave reviews. I had my sister-in-law package up the pastry dough while my fiance` prepared the broccoli, I sliced tomatoes, and cleaned up dishes. Group effort!

    Brilliant!! I want to make these anytime just, well, because!!! I've made the traditional and it is so time consuming and a bit difficult to predict the internal temperature of a whole tenderloin - this way is sooo much better!
