Beef Wellington Sides Recipe

If you thought the gift giving was over, you thought wrong! Tender beef is topped with savory ingredients, then wrapped up like a present with puff pastry, and served just for you to open at the dinner table.

Beef Wellington is a perfect entrée for the holidays — it’s made with tender filet mignon, and lavish ingredients like pâté with truffles and puff pastry. This version swaps prosciutto for the pâté, but includes the classic mushroom mixture called duxelles [dook-SEHL].

Typically this dish is a presentation piece that portions are sliced from, but this recipe is special — everyone gets their own. Sear the filets in a hot skillet, then wrap each like a gift. A bonus of these individual portions is they cook more evenly, so each piece is perfect.

If possible, buy center-cut filets (filet mignon). Center cuts are evenly shaped, but if you can’t find them, the next best option is to cut filets from a whole tenderloin.

For the beef, sear filets in oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, 3 minutes. Flip filets and sear 1 minute more; transfer to a plate and chill at least 30 minutes.

For the duxelles, sauté shallots and mushrooms in butter in same skillet over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. Add cream and sherry and simmer until liquid is nearly evaporated. Off heat, stir in thyme and season with salt and pepper; cool completely.

For the pastry, roll out 1 sheet puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface into a 13-inch square; cut into four squares. Place a cooled filet in the center of each square. Top each filet with duxelles and prosciutto.

Brush corners of pastry with egg wash, then fold a corner up to the center. Fold opposite corner up to center, meeting at the top; press to adhere. Fold the other corners up, tucking in sides as if wrapping a gift. Gently stretch pastry over any open areas to enclose; place on prepared baking sheet.

Make vein imprints with knife tip, then glue leaves onto the Wellingtons with egg wash; chill at least 1 hour or up to 24.
