- 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp truffle oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season beef with salt and pepper, then sear in olive oil until browned on all sides. Set aside.
- Sauté mushrooms, garlic, and truffle oil until moisture evaporates. Cool.
- Lay prosciutto slices on plastic wrap, spread mushroom mixture over them, then place beef on top.
- Roll prosciutto and mushrooms around beef, wrap tightly, and chill for 15 minutes.
- Roll puff pastry around the beef, seal edges, and brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden and beef reaches desired doneness.
- Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Chill the wrapped beef before baking to help the pastry hold its shape.
- Use a meat thermometer for accurate doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare).
- Serve with a red wine reduction for extra flavor.
