Ingredients

1 beef tenderloin (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)

Ground black pepper (optional)

1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed

1 egg

1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon butter

2 cups finely chopped mushrooms

1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the beef into a lightly greased roasting pan. Season with the black pepper, if desired. Roast for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 130 degrees F. Cover the pan and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Beat the egg and water in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.
  3. Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until the mushrooms are tender and all the liquid is evaporated, stirring often.
  4. Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a rectangle 4 inches longer and 6 inches wider than the beef. Brush the pastry sheet with the egg mixture. Spoon the mushroom mixture onto the pastry sheet to within 1-inch of the edges. Place the beef in the center of the mushroom mixture. Fold the pastry over the beef and press to seal. Place seam-side down onto a baking sheet. Tuck the ends under to seal. Brush the pastry with the egg mixture.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees F.
  6. Serving Suggestion: Serve with green beans amandine. For dessert serve with cheesecake topped with sliced strawberries.

This was my first time trying to make a Wellington. I have gotten a little more daring in the harder dishes. This was super easy. My butcher cut my loin down to 1.5 pounds for me since there was only five of us. Things I changed a little was when cooking the mushrooms and onions - I added about 1.4 cup of red wine for them to soak up. Let the liquid evaporate. My husband said the beef melted like butter and the wine soaked mushrooms added a little extra something something. Used Crimini's which I generally always use in cooking anyways. I also made a red wine reduction to finish the dish off. I highly recommend it.
