Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Trim 1 lb beef tenderloin, season with 1.5 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then pat dry.
  2. Step 2: Finely chop 6 oz mixed mushrooms and 1 small shallot. Melt 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, add mushrooms and shallot, and cook for 7 minutes until deeply golden and moisture evaporates.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1 tsp all-purpose flour, cooking for 2 minutes until mixture thickens and pulls away from pan, then cool completely.
  4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll puff pastry to 12x8 inches. Cut into 4x3-inch rectangles. Lay 6 prosciutto slices on a work surface, overlapping slightly.
  5. Step 5: Spread cooled mushroom mixture evenly over prosciutto, leaving 1/2-inch borders. Place 1-inch thick beef slices on top, then fold pastry over, sealing edges with egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tsp water).
  6. Step 6: Place seam-side down on a parchment-lined sheet. Brush with egg wash and score lightly with a knife. Bake 22-24 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden, rotating pan halfway.
  7. Step 7: Rest 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle.
