Puff Pastry Filet

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 4 servings
Calories 401kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 cup Mushrooms minced
  • 2 tbsp Shallot chopped
  • 16 oz Beef tenderloin steaks see pro tips in the notes below
  • 1 sheet Puff pastry thawed

Gravy

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Beef broth
  • 2 sprigs Fresh thyme plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a non-stick pan over medium heat, melt the butter; sauté the mushrooms and shallots until the mushrooms are soft. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.
  • Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. In another non-stick pan on medium-high heat, sear the steak on all sides and around the edges to create a seal around the steak.
  • Cut the puff pastry into squares big enough to wrap each steak individually (use a rolling pin to thin out the puff pastry just a little bit so it doesn't have to cook as long).
  • Spread the mushroom mixture onto the puff pastry in a layer; wrap the steak with the puff pastry and place it seam side down onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake the steaks in the oven until the puff pastry is golden brown and your desired temperature is reached using a thermometer (see below).
  • For the gravy: In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the flour, cook for 1 minute. Stir in the beef broth and thyme, simmer until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the beef with the gravy. Garnish with thyme.

Notes

Pro Tip: If making multiple portions: instead of using a 4 ounce steak use an 8 ounce steak to wrap in puff pastry. A bigger steak will allow the puff pastry to cook fully while not overcooking the steak if you desire a rare or medium rare temperature.
