2 filet mignons, about 6 ounces each
sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 small onion, chopped finely
1 garlic clove, minced
4 ounces button mushrooms, chopped finely
sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
1/2 sheet puff pastry dough, thawed
1 egg, beaten
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.Season the filets with salt and pepper.Melt the butter with the oil in a large saucepan. Sauté the filets for about 2minutes on each side and remove to a cool dish.Add the onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes over medium high heat until soft.
Add the mushrooms and sauté just until soft. Season with salt and pepper totaste. Remove mushroom mixture to a clean towel to absorb any of the oil. Roll out your puff pastry thinly and slice to make 2 squares, making sure eachsquare will completely cover each filet. Place about 2 tablespoons of mushroom stuffing (the fancy name for this isduxelle) in the center of the dough and put a filet on top. Bring the sides ofthe pastry up all around the filet and seal with a bit of the eggwash.
Flip the filet over so that you have the seams on the bottom and place them on alightly oiled baking sheet.Brush with the beaten egg. Bake the Wellingtons for 15 to 22 minutes (15 minuteswill be rare, 22 minutes will be well done) You can test with a meatthermometer, 125 degrees for rare and 155 for well done.
Let the Wellingtonsrest for 5 minutes before cutting.
