📝 Key Ingredients for Success
- Center-cut beef tenderloin (the star of the show)
- Mushroom duxelles: finely chopped mushrooms, shallots, garlic, thyme, sautéed down to a paste
- Thinly sliced prosciutto or Parma ham
- English mustard to coat the seared beef
- Puff pastry (store-bought works great!)
- Egg wash for a golden, glossy crust
- Salt, pepper, and a bit of patience
🔪 The Process in a Nutshell
- Sear the Beef – Lock in flavor with a hot, quick sear. Let it cool.
- Make the Duxelles – Sauté mushrooms, garlic, and shallots until moisture evaporates.
- Layer the Prosciutto & Duxelles – Lay prosciutto flat, top with duxelles, and wrap the cooled beef inside.
- Wrap in Puff Pastry – Chill again to hold its shape, then bake until golden and flaky.
- Slice & Serve – Let it rest before slicing. Pair with a red wine reduction, mashed potatoes, or seasonal veggies.
💡 Pro Tips for Nailing It Like Ramsay
- Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness (125°F for medium rare).
- Chill each layer before wrapping and baking to prevent a soggy bottom.
- Score the top of the puff pastry lightly for that signature finish.
- Let it rest before slicing—this keeps it juicy and picture-perfect.
