Mini Beef Welllington’S
Description
These Mini Beef Wellingtons offer an elegant yet approachable twist on the classic British dish, perfect for intimate dinners or special occasions. Each bite delivers a contrast of textures: the buttery, shattering crispness of the phyllo dough giving way to the tender, juicy beef tenderloin and the earthy richness of the mushroom duxelles. Infused with red wine, fresh thyme, and green onions, the filling provides a deep, savory flavor profile that complements the meat beautifully. While traditionally labor-intensive, these individual portions simplify the process without sacrificing the luxurious result. They are sure to impress guests and provide a satisfying, restaurant-quality meal at home.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
-
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add the finely chopped mushrooms and sauté until tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
-
Pour in the dry red wine and cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
-
Stir in the chopped green onions, dried thyme, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
-
In the same skillet, sear the beef tenderloin steaks for about 3 minutes over medium-high heat, turning once, until partially cooked but still rare inside.
-
Season the seared steaks with additional salt and pepper to taste and let them cool slightly.
-
On a flat surface, lay out the defrosted phyllo dough sheets, spraying each layer thoroughly with vegetable cooking spray to prevent drying and ensure crispiness.
-
Cut the stacked phyllo layers into four squares large enough to wrap around each steak.
-
Place a dollop of the cooled mushroom mixture on each phyllo square, top with a beef steak, and fold the dough over to enclose the filling completely.
-
Place the parcels seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and flaky.
-
Let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
