Ingredients:
6-8 oz beef tenderloin fillet
3 tbsp butter
2 shallots, minced
8 oz crimini or button mushrooms
1 tsp fresh thyme (plus extra for garnish)
1/2 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
1/4 cup Cabernet Sauvignon or Sherry wine

1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

Instructions:
Prepare the Mushroom Duxelles:
Pulse mushrooms in a food processor. Sauté minced shallots in butter until soft, then add mushrooms and thyme. Cook until the liquid evaporates. Deglaze with wine, simmer until dry. Stir in parsley, season with salt & pepper. Let cool.
Sear the Beef:
Sear the beef fillet in oil on all sides, then slice into 12 even pieces. Season with salt & pepper.
Assemble the Wellingtons:
Roll out the pastry dough and cut into 12 squares. Layer each square with prosciutto, mushroom duxelles, and a piece of beef. Brush with Dijon mustard. Roll the pastry around the beef and seal the edges.
Bake the Wellingtons:
Brush each Wellington with egg wash and make small slits on top. Chill for 10 minutes, then bake at 375°F for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Make Gorgonzola Cream Sauce:
Blend Gorgonzola cheese, heavy cream, and water until smooth.
Serve:
Top each Wellington with a dollop of Gorgonzola sauce and garnish with fresh thyme.
