Steps

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove from heat and let it cool.
• Brush the beef with Dijon mustard.
• Lay out the prosciutto slices on a sheet of plastic wrap, slightly overlapping.
• Place the beef on top of the prosciutto and roll it up tightly using the plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
• Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
• Unwrap the beef from the plastic wrap and place it in the center of the puff pastry.
• Fold the pastry over the beef, sealing the edges. Trim off any excess pastry.
• Brush the pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish.
• Place the beef Wellington on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
• Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Tips

• Make sure the beef is well-seared before wrapping it in the prosciutto and puff pastry to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
• Letting the beef Wellington rest before slicing allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a tender and juicy result.
