Filet de Boeuf en Croûte

A classic French dish where a beef tenderloin is covered with a mushroom duxelles, wrapped in puff pastry and baked to perfection.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper.
In a large pan, melt the butter and add the chopped mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid and it has evaporated.
Roll out the puff pastry and place the beef tenderloin in the center. Spread the mushroom mixture over the beef.
Fold the puff pastry over the beef and seal the edges. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the beef is cooked to your liking.
Allow the beef to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
