Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 1/2 pound button mushrooms and stems, cleaned and finely chopped in food processor
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons dry cooking sherry, 2 splashes
  • 4 tournedos of beef filet mignon, 1-inch thick
  • 8 ounces mousse pate, available in specialty cheese and appetizer cases of larger markets
  • 1 sheet frozen prepared puff pastry, 11 by 17, defrosted
  • 1 egg, beaten with a splash of water
  • 1 large head broccoli, trimmed and cut into spears

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add oil, butter, shallot and chopped mushrooms. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper and saute 5 minutes. Add sherry to the mushrooms and let the liquid evaporate. Remove mushrooms from the heat.

In a nonstick skillet over high heat, sear meat 2 minutes on each side in a drizzle of oil. Remove skillet from the heat and season meat with salt and pepper.

Cut mousse into 4 pieces, 2 ounces each sliced in 1/2 horizontally. Spread the puff pastry sheet out on to a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Quarter the dough with a sharp knife. Roll each piece of dough into a 10 by 6-inch rectangle. On each rectangle of dough, place 1/4 of the cooked mushrooms. Top mushrooms with 2 ounces pate and 1 tournedo of beef. Wrap dough up and over the meat. Seal the dough with egg wash and trim excess. Use leftover dough bits to make decorative garnishes for the tops of your Wellingtons. Turn the wrapped Wellingtons over and cover with egg wash using a pastry brush. Affix dough garnishes with egg wash. For a simple decoration, roll dough bits into a long, thin spaghetti like string and make swirls on each Wellington. Bake beef Wellingtons 10 minutes or until golden. Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.

Steam broccoli spears in 1-inch simmering salted water, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender. Transfer spears to a serving plate or individual dinner plates along side Wellingtons.

    I had Beef Wellington on a cruise and whould have never considered making it with pate had i not liked it so well on the cruise.I encourage you to make it according to the recipe and if you arenot a pate fan (as my husband and I are not use a thinner layer. It really is delish... although it will still be quite a while before you cnvince me to eat pate alone I will continue to use it for Beef Wellingtons.

    I made this tonight for my family and everyone liked it. I made a few changes though to suit our tastes. None of us like pate, so I left that out and replaced it with blue cheese. In the mushroom mixture I added 2 cloves of garlic (although I think it was a little too garlicky and next time I will only use 1 and I added a pinch of thyme. I also replaced the sherry with red wine (I used Shiraz. It was very tasty and I will be making it again. Thanks for the recipe!

    I've had thie recipe for several years and finally made it tonight. We loved it, and would absolutely make it again.
    I did the Gorgonzolla cheese as neither my husband or myself are fans of pate. Mine took longer to bake than 10 minutes. It was more like 20 minutes and meat still came out a perfect med/rare. Easy, delicious, restaurant quality. Make this one when you really want to impress someone,,it'll work...
