Our version of Beef Wellington with a twist, featuring Jean Martin black tapenade: an impressive festive dish with its fragrant mushroom duxelles and golden puff pastry crust.
Preparation
Roughly chop and blend the mushrooms until you obtain a smooth paste.
Place this paste in a large hot pan and cook the mushrooms for about ten minutes, stirring frequently to remove the moisture.
Add the tapenade and set aside to cool.
Trim the beef tenderloin and sear it on all sides with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Brush it with mustard and set aside.
Lay out a piece of plastic wrap, arrange the prosciutto and mushroom duxelles on it. Roll it around the beef tenderloin. Let it rest for a few minutes in the freezer.
Unroll the puff pastry and wrap it around the beef.
Brush with the egg yolk.
Place in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20 minutes, then lower the oven to 180°C and cook for another 15 minutes.
Remove the Beef Wellington from the oven and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
Our tip
The quick stint in the freezer before wrapping in puff pastry is a key step: it firms everything up and makes it much easier to shape without distorting the dish.
Variation
For a rarer cook, reduce the second cooking time to about 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillet.
Pairings & suggestions
A full-bodied red wine, such as a Bordeaux or Côtes du Rhône, is the perfect accompaniment to this festive dish.
