Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Beef Tenderloin cut into 4 equal portions
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry thawed
  • 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 4 slices Prosciutto
  • 4 tbsp Mushroom Duxelles (recipe below, or store-bought)
  • 1 Egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Olive Oil Spray for spraying air fryer basket
Mushroom Duxelles Ingredients
  • 8 oz Cremini Mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Air Fryer,
  • skillet,
  • Fork
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Mushroom Duxelles: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add mushrooms and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the mushrooms are softened and the liquid has evaporated (about 8-10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the Beef: Season the beef tenderloin portions with salt and pepper. Then, in a hot pan, sear each side for 1-2 minutes. Do not overcook. Let the beef cool briefly.
  3. Assemble the Wellingtons: Lay out the puff pastry sheet and cut into 4 equal squares. Spread each square with Dijon mustard. Place a slice of prosciutto on top of the mustard, followed by a spoonful of mushroom duxelles. Place a seared beef tenderloin portion on top of the duxelles.
  4. Wrap the Wellingtons: Carefully wrap the puff pastry around the beef, ensuring all sides are sealed tightly. Crimp the edges with a fork to secure them.
  5. Egg Wash: Brush the top of each wellington with beaten egg wash. This will give it a nice golden color.
  6. Air Fry: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the beef wellingtons in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
  7. Cook: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the beef reaches your desired internal temperature (135°F for medium-rare). Use a meat thermometer to check.
  8. Rest: Let the beef wellingtons rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
