Ingredients
4 Servings
- 4 beef fillet steaks
- 2 g black pepper
- 1 egg yolk
- 5 g fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- 250 g mushrooms
- 30 ml olive oil
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 500 g puff pastry
- 5 g salt
- 2 shallots
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
Step 2
Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef fillets for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and let cool.
Step 4
In the same pan, add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme. Cook until the mixture is dry and the mushrooms are browned, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Lay out the prosciutto slices on a work surface. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the prosciutto.
Step 6
Place each beef fillet on top of the mushroom mixture. Wrap the prosciutto around the fillet.
Step 7
Roll out the puff pastry and cut into 4 equal squares. Place each wrapped fillet onto a square of pastry.
Step 8
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg yolk. Fold the pastry over the fillet and seal the edges.
Step 9
Place the wrapped fillets seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with more egg yolk.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Step 11
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
