Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup red wine (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Sear all sides in a hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
  3. Cook the mushrooms in the same skillet until moisture evaporates (about 10 minutes). Add minced garlic and fresh thyme before removing from heat.
  4. Lay prosciutto on plastic wrap, overlapping slightly. Spread mushroom mixture over it, then place seared beef on top. Roll into a log and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  5. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Remove beef from plastic wrap, brush with Dijon mustard, and wrap tightly in pastry. Seal edges well.
  6. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Allow to rest before slicing and serve with red wine sauce.
