Instructions
- Step 1: Pat beef tenderloin dry and season evenly with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside.
- Step 2: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots, cooking for 8 minutes until golden and moisture evaporates. Deglaze with white wine and simmer for 3 minutes until reduced by half.
- Step 3: Spread mushroom duxelles evenly over the center of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a 2-inch border. Place beef tenderloin on top, then roll pastry tightly around it, sealing edges with egg wash.
- Step 4: Press the pastry seams with a fork to create a 'stitch' pattern resembling jersey detailing. Brush entire surface with beaten egg for a golden sheen.
- Step 5: Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill for 30 minutes to set.
- Step 6: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown, checking internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.
