Ingredients
2 (8-ounce) filet mignons
Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium shallot, finely diced
10 ounces baby bella (cremini mushrooms), finely diced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons dry vermouth
4 slices prosciutto
1 large egg
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
Instructions
1-Pat the filet mignons dry and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a cast iron pan on medium-high, add 1 tablespoon canola oil, and sear the filets on all sides for about 2 minutes total, then set them aside.
2-Brush 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard over the filets and refrigerate until cool, about 15 minutes.
3-Melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in the pan, add 1 medium finely diced shallot, 10 ounces finely diced baby bella (cremini mushrooms), and 2 sprigs fresh thyme. Cook while stirring occasionally until the mushrooms reduce and lose moisture, about 10 to 12 minutes.
4-Add 2 tablespoons dry vermouth, cook until the mushrooms are dry, then remove the thyme sprigs and chill the mushroom mixture.
5-Lay two slices of prosciutto on plastic wrap, spread the mushroom mixture on each, and top with a filet mignon.
6-Wrap the prosciutto around the beef, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
7-Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut 1 sheet of puff pastry in half and roll out to remove creases. Unwrap the beef and place it on the pastry.
8-Fold the pastry over the beef, seal the edges, and trim any excess. Place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Whisk 1 large egg with a bit of water, brush it over the pastry, and cut slits on top.
9-Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium rare. If needed, broil briefly for added color.
10-Let rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
