INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 2 (6 ounce) beef tenderloin filets
  • Dairy

    • 🧈 1 tablespoon butter
    • 🥚 1 large egg (Optional)
    • 🥛 2 tablespoons milk (Optional)
  • Vegetables & Herbs

    • 8 ounces fresh white mushrooms, minced
    • ⅓ cup minced shallots
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Liquids & Oils

    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons red wine
    • 1 ½ cups red wine
  • Pastry

    • 4 frozen puff pastry, thawed but still cold

STEPS

1

Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the filets and sear until well browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer filets to a plate, cool slightly, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

2

Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Cook and stir until shallots are tender and mushrooms release juices, 6-8 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons red wine and scrape browned bits from the skillet. Transfer mixture to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes.

3

Place two puff pastry squares on a work surface, top each with a chilled filet, and distribute the mushroom mixture on top. Cover each with an additional puff pastry square, fold and pinch edges to seal. Trim excess pastry and cut a small slit in each package.

4

Heat remaining 1 ½ cups red wine in a saucepan over medium heat, simmer until reduced by half (about 15 minutes). Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.

5

Whisk egg and milk together and brush the pastry packages with the mixture for browning. Refrigerate to keep cold before baking.

6

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

7

Place the pastry packages on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until golden brown and reaching medium-rare doneness. An instant-read thermometer should register 130°F (54°C).

8

Serve with the prepared wine sauce drizzled on top.
