Individual Beef Filet Wellingtons is a classic French dish, usually made for special occasions. Filet mignon, also known as the tenderloin, is the most exquisite cut of beef, and its high-fat content makes it stand out for having tender texture and rich flavour. The juicy and tender beef, along with the earthy and savoury filling, encased in flaky puff pastry, makes for an unforgettable combination. The dish’s name sounds daunting and intimidating, but the recipe is pretty straightforward to make with a little patience and attention to detail. Serve this dish with a side of roasted vegetables, potatoes, or salad for an elegant and well-rounded meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2.Season the filet mignon with salt and pepper to taste.
3.Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over high heat. Sear the filet mignon for 1-2 minutes on each side until a crust forms. Remove the steak from the pan and let it cool.
4.Add mushrooms and onions to the same pan and sauté until soft and golden. Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool.
5.Melt the butter in a small pot. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until well mixed.
6.On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a square shape. Cut it into 4 equal pieces.
7.Spread the crumb mixture over the top of each piece.
8.Center each seared filet mignon on top of each puff pastry square.
9.Spoon the mushroom mixture on top of each piece.
10.Fold the pastry over the top of the steak and mushroom mixture, making sure to seal the edges with the beaten egg white.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Additionally, it provides nutrients like iron, zinc and vitamins B12 and B6. However, the recipe is on the fattier side as both the pastry and butter are high in fat. Enjoy this dish in moderation as a part of a balanced diet.
