3. Assemble the Beef Wellington:

   • Lay out the prosciutto slices on a sheet of plastic wrap, slightly overlapping.
   • Spread the mushroom duxelles over the prosciutto.
   • Place the seared beef in the center and wrap the prosciutto and duxelles around it tightly, using the plastic wrap to help shape it into a tight log. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

4. Roll the Puff Pastry:

   • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a size large enough to completely encase the beef.
   • Remove the beef from the refrigerator and unwrap it from the plastic wrap. Place it in the center of the puff pastry.

5. Seal and Decorate:

   • Brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash.
   • Fold the pastry over the beef, sealing it tightly.
   • Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
   • Score the top of the pastry lightly with a knife for decoration.

6. Bake:

   • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Place the Beef Wellington on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Brush the top with egg wash for a golden finish.
   • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the beef reaches your desired doneness (125°F for medium-rare).

7. Rest and Serve:

   • Allow the Beef Wellington to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
   • Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy the culinary masterpiece you have created.

Results

Your Beef Wellington should emerge from the oven as a golden-brown masterpiece, with layers of flavors and textures waiting to be savored. The puff pastry should be crisp and flaky, while the beef inside remains tender and juicy. Each bite reveals the harmonious marriage of beef, mushrooms, and pastry, leaving a lasting impression on your taste buds.

Precautions you should remember

• Ensure that the beef is well-sealed in the pastry to prevent any juices from leaking out during baking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
• Allow the Beef Wellington to rest before slicing to retain its juices and ensure optimal flavor.
