Steps:

• Sprinkle fillets evenly with 1 tsp. salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Add fillets, in batches, and sear, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove fillets from skillet, reserving pan drippings, and place on a baking sheet. Cover and chill 1 hour. Add mushrooms and shallot to pan drippings: cook over medium high heat 3 minutes. Add sherry, cream, parsley and remaining salt: cook, stirring frequently, until all liquid is absorbed (about 12 to 14 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool. Cover and chill until ready to assemble Wellingtons. Preheat oven to 425º. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 puff pastry sheet to a 12x10 inch rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon mushroom filling in center of each pastry. Top each with a chilled fillet. Brush edges of pastry with beaten egg. Wrap 2 opposite sides of pastry over each fillet, overlapping them: seal seam with beaten egg. Wrap remaining 2 sides of pastry over fillet, and seal with beaten egg. Seal any gaps with beaten egg and press pastry around fillet to enclose completely. Repeat procedure with remaining puff pastry, mushroom filling, and fillets. Decorate fillets as desired with remaining puff pastry dough. Place fillets, seam side down, on prepared pan. Brush entire surface of pastry with beaten egg. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve immediately with Sherry Cream Sauce. In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 3 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Stir in broth and sherry; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.

MINI BEEF WELLINGTONS WITH MOREL MUSHROOMS, SHERRY AND THYME

Steps:

• Roll out the puff pastry on a well-floured work surface until about 14-inches square and 1/8-inch thick. Trim the edges, if necessary, and cut the puff pastry into 4 squares. You may need to roll the puff pastry larger or smaller depending on the size of the meat. Put them in a single layer onto one or two baking sheets and into the refrigerator to firm up.
• Rinse the dried mushrooms in cold water, put them into a small bowl and cover them with hot water. Let soak for 20 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is very hot, season the meat with salt and pepper and sear on each side for 1 minute per side. Set aside.
• Turn the heat down to medium, add the shallots to the pan and cook until they are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and fresh mushrooms and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the dried mushrooms and chop them finely. Add them to the pan along with the sherry, if using. Turn the heat up a bit and cook until the mushrooms are almost dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the thyme and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 more minute, take the pan off the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the pastry from the refrigerator. Put a large tablespoon of the mushroom mixture in the center of a pastry square and spread it out to the same size as the meat. Place a piece of tenderloin on top and brush some egg wash around the edges of the pastry. Fold up the corners and sides of the pastry so they meet and overlap slightly in the middle. Turn it over so the seams are down and shape it into a neat package with your hands. Repeat with the other three squares. If the pastry has gotten soft, put the packages back in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up. This will make sure the pastry does not just melt into a gooey mess in the oven before it has a chance to puff up. Save the remaining mushroom mixture for the sauce.
• When you are ready to bake, cut a design into the top of each package with a paring knife. Brush them all over with egg wash. Bake for 14 minutes for medium rare or adjust the time shorter or longer according to how you like your meat cooked.
• While the Wellingtons are baking, reheat the mushroom mixture. Add the cream and cook on high for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Remove from the heat, cover and keep warm.
• When the Wellingtons are ready, remove them from the oven and serve with the sauce and a big glass of hearty red wine.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Season both sides of each filet with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the filets and sear for 1 minute on each side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate to cool completely.
• Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 14-inch square, and cut into 4 (7-inch) squares.
• Spread one-quarter of the mushroom duxelles on top of each filet and top each with 1 slice of the pate, pressing to flatten. Place one filet, mushroom side down, in the center of a puff pastry square. Using a pastry brush or your finger, paint the inside edges of the pastry with egg wash. Fold the pastry over the filet as though wrapping a package and press the edges to seal. Place the packages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the egg wash over the tops and sides of each package and bake until the pastry is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees F for medium-rare, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Place the Beef Wellingtons in the center of 4 large plates, and accompany with the sauce and vegetables of choice.
• Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, salt, and white pepper, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring, until all the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms begin to caramelize, about 12 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring to deglaze the pan, until all the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and let cool before using.
