Ingredients

1 pound Mushrooms
1/4 cup Butter or margarine
1 md Onion, minced
3 cup Fresh bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon Thyme
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Salt
1 pound Package puff pastry
8 Beef Rib eye steak, 1 inch

Directions

1
Remove stems from 8 mushrooms and set the caps aside. Mince the remaining mushrooms and extra stems finely.
2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced mushrooms and onions, cooking for 5 minutes until all liquid has evaporated.
3
Stir in the bread crumbs, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
4
Prepare the puff pastry according to package directions. Cut into 8 rectangular pieces, reserving the scraps.
5
Place about 1/3 cup of the cooled mushroom mixture in the center of each pastry rectangle. Top each with a ribeye steak and one whole mushroom cap.
6
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites with 2 teaspoons of water. Brush this mixture onto the edges of the pastry.
7
Fold the pastry over the steak and mushroom, overlapping the edges and pressing firmly to seal.
8
Roll out the pastry scraps and cut into leaf or decorative shapes. Brush the backs with egg white and arrange on top of the pastry rectangles for decoration.
9
Place the assembled wellingtons on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 2-3 hours to firm up the pastry.
10
Remove from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;Â°F (204ÃÂ°C).
11
Beat the egg yolk with 2 teaspoons of water and brush over the top of each pastry.
12
Bake for 23 minutes for rare or 25 minutes for medium doneness, until the pastry is golden brown.
13
Serve immediately.

Note

The recipe mentions serving with Demi-glaze sauce; if desired, prepare separately or use a high-quality store-bought reduction.

Suggested sides include asparagus tips, baby carrots, and broiled tomato halves.

Ensure the mushroom mixture is completely cooled before wrapping to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.

For best results, use uniform 1-inch thick steaks to ensure even cooking.
