Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Mini Beef Wellingtons.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add in your sliced mushrooms, a splash of dry sherry, chopped onion, a generous pat of butter, and some fresh chopped parsley.
Step 3
Stir everything together and let it cook for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
You’ll know it’s ready when the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are beautifully browned.
Step 5
Once done, set the mixture aside to cool.
Step 6
When it’s cool enough to handle, take a spoonful and spread it evenly over the top of each beef tenderloin fillet, creating a delicious layer of flavor.
Step 7
Next, take your partially thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each one into three rectangles, giving you a total of six pieces.
Step 8
Roll each rectangle out to about a quarter-inch thickness.
Step 9
Now, place a beef fillet right in the center of each pastry rectangle.
Step 10
Gently fold the pastry over the beef and seal all the edges, making sure the seams aren’t too thick to ensure a perfect bake.
Step 11
Once your beef Wellingtons are wrapped up, arrange them on a baking sheet.
Step 12
Cover them with plastic wrap and pop them in the refrigerator for at least 35 minutes.
Step 13
This step helps the pastry firm up, making it easier to handle when baking.
Step 14
While your Wellingtons chill, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 15
When the oven is ready, take the Wellingtons out of the fridge and bake them for about 25 minutes.
Step 16
To check if they’re done, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center; you’re aiming for a temperature of 130°F (54°C) for that perfect medium-rare finish.
Step 17
Once they’re out of the oven, let the Wellingtons rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 18
This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is tender and flavorful.
Step 19
Now, you’re ready to serve up these delightful beef Wellingtons and impress your guests with your culinary skills! Enjoy every delicious bite!.
