Looking for the perfect dish for a special occasion? This is it!
I was looking to make something for Christmas dinner that was a little different. This was so simple to make and tasted unbelievable. I changed up a few of the seasonings to taste, and found it is easy to modify each beef filet to an individual’s taste.
To Make:
I’ve found using the Pepperidge Farm pastry sheets easier to use then the shells. Thaw them out until they are at room temperature.
Purchase nice, 1 inch filets, and season the filets with salt, pepper, beef seasoning rub. Preheat an iron skillet over medium heat, add 1 tsp of butter.
Cook the filets for 3 minutes on both sides and sear the edges, check the internal temperature to make sure they are not cooked past 120F at the center.
Put mustard, butter, rosemary, chopped garlic in food processor and puree it.
Cool the filets. Put a tablespoon of the mustard mixture and wrap with thinly sliced prosciutto and wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight.
Flour and roll out pastry sheet. Brush with egg yolk.
Unwrap filets and place mustard side down in the middle of the pastry sheet. Wrap and seal edges with butter.
Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet with a rim and brush again with egg yolk. Score the top with a knife, not going all the way through the pastry. Sprinkle the top with kosher salt.
Bake at 400F for 20-30 minutes until internal temperature of meat is 125-130F for medium rare.
Remove from oven and let it sit for 10 minutes.
