This is one of the easiest and best recipes for beef wellington that I have come across. It makes a great presentation and is perfectly accompanied by a nice asparagus with hollandaise or roasted potatoes with rosemary. There are many great accompaniments to present with this dish - just follow your taste buds and your creativity.
Mini Beef Wellingtons
7 ounces frozen puff pastry, preferably all butter, thawed
1/3 cup Boursin cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces), at room temperature
1/2 pound trimmed beef tenderloin, cut into 1/2 -inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. On a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper, roll out the puff pastry to a 7 1/2 -by-15-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into 1 1/2 -inch squares.
Spoon a scant 1/4 teaspoon of the Boursin in the center of each pastry square. Season the beef with salt and pepper and set a cube on each pastry square. Fold the pastry over the beef, neatly tucking in the corners. Arrange the pastries seam side down on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
The recipe can be prepared to this point and frozen for up to 1 week. Lightly brush each pastry with the beaten egg. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a platter and serve.
Makes about 4 dozen
