Mini Beef Wellingtons are elegant appetizers featuring tender beef fillet, mushroom duxelles, and puff pastry, baked until golden brown.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry or beef broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 sheet (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme, cooking until all liquid has evaporated, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Stir in sherry or beef broth and cook until evaporated. Stir in heavy cream and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool completely.
  3. Sear beef tenderloin cubes in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Let cool.
  4. Brush cooled beef cubes with Dijon mustard.
  5. Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 12×12 inch square. Cut into 12 equal squares.
  6. Place a spoonful of mushroom duxelles in the center of each pastry square. Top with a seared beef cube.
  7. Bring the corners of the pastry together over the beef and pinch to seal, forming a small package. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Brush the tops of the Wellingtons with beaten egg.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the mushroom duxelles is completely cool before assembling to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
  • You can prepare the mushroom duxelles and sear the beef ahead of time.
  • For extra flavor, you can wrap the beef in a thin slice of prosciutto or beef bacon before adding the duxelles.
  • These Wellingtons can be frozen unbaked. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
