How to store:
To ensure optimum freshness, keep Beef Wellington wrapped in plastic wrap, beeswax cloths, aluminum foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If you plan to store them for longer, freeze them in an airtight container, making sure to separate the layers with parchment paper. When you’re ready to enjoy the Wellingtons, reheat them in the oven to keep the batter crispy. Defrost frozen Wellingtons in the fridge before reheating to ensure they retain their delicious texture.

COOKING
1. Fry the mushrooms in a pan without adding any fat so that the water can evaporate and the mushrooms do not become mushy and brown. Once the mushrooms are lightly browned, add a tablespoon of butter to the pan.
2. Secondly fry the finely chopped shallot in the pan with the mushrooms and melted butter until soft. When the onions are soft, deglaze everything with 3 tablespoons red wine and reduce for approx. 5-8 minutes. There should be no liquid left on the bottom, but everything should be absorbed into the mushrooms. Next, add the chopped fresh parsley, dried thyme and salt & pepper to taste to the pan. Set the mushroom mixture aside.
3. Now sear the fillet of beef very briefly on all sides in a pan with 1 tbsp butter. Remove the meat from the pan and cut into 16 equal pieces. Set aside.
4. First place the Prosciutto di Parma on the individual pieces of puff pastry so that the edges of the pastry are still visible around the ham. Next, place approx. 1/2 tsp of the mushroom mixture on each piece of ham. Then place a piece of beef fillet on top of the mushroom mixture. Brush the fillet of beef with a little mustard. Now roll up the pieces and seal the ends.
5. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and place the Beef Wellington finger food in the fridge until then.
6. When the oven is preheated take the Beef Wellington Finger Food pieces out of the fridge and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Make diagonal incisions in all the pieces and brush with the beaten egg.
7. Finally bake in the oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside. If the pieces of meat are very thin, it cannot be guaranteed that the meat will be cooked medium. But even if the meat is not medium, it will be very tender and fall apart in the mouth. My Cumberland sauce goes wonderfully with this.
