Mini Beef Wellingtons

By MooK

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 4 to 5 crimini mushrooms or button mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Sea salt
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 (17.3-ounce) package frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
• 1 (1-pound) trimmed beef tenderloin, cut into 24 cubes (about 3/4 inch each)
• 1/3 cup Boursin cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 450°. Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and rosemary; sauté 3 minutes or until browned. Stir in pepper and 1/8 teaspoon sea salt. Set aside.

2. Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl.

3. Roll 1 puff pastry sheet into a 9- x 12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Cut into 12 (3-inch) squares. Arrange 1 beef cube in the center of each pastry square, and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Top each beef cube with about 1/2 teaspoon Boursin cheese and 1 mushroom slice. Brush edges of pastry squares with egg mixture. Fold dough corners over filling in the center to make a packet, pinching to seal. Place on a large, parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients, and brush all with remaining egg mixture.

4. Bake 9 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes.
