Recipe notes
This beef Wellington is a twist on the traditional recipe with the luxurious addition of duck foie gras mousse. If preferred, the mousse can be omitted without sacrificing the dish's indulgent quality. Ideal for 6-8 servings, this classic roast makes an elegant and impressive centerpiece, and pairs beautifully with festive sides for a complete holiday feast.

RECIPE Preparation
- Add mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Heat butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, then add the mixture and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are browned. Add Cognac, reduce to roughly a tablespoon, season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool. Fold in 1 pack of duck foie gras mousse.
- Season the tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. Sear it all over, including the ends, in a hot skillet lightly coated with olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat to rest.
- On a large sheet of plastic wrap, shingle prosciutto to form a rectangle large enough to encompass the beef. Spread a thin layer of duxelles over the prosciutto, season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme, then smear Dijon mustard over the cooled beef. Roll the beef tightly in the duxelles-covered prosciutto, using the plastic wrap to form a tight log shape. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Roll puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ¼" thickness, overlapping sheets if needed. Remove the beef from the refrigerator, unwrap, and place it in the center of the pastry. Fold the pastry over the beef, sealing the edges with egg wash. Trim and decorate as desired, brushing with more egg wash and sprinkling with coarse sea salt. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the beef registers 125°F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven, rest briefly, then slice and serve.
