About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Chilling between each wrapping step keeps the pastry cold and the parcel tight, so it bakes up crisp.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Season steaks and sear in very hot oil 1 minute per side and edges. Cool, brush with Dijon.

  2. 02

    Cook mushrooms, shallot and thyme in butter 10–12 minutes until a dry paste. Cool.

  3. 03

    On plastic wrap, overlap 2 prosciutto slices, spread half the duxelles, set a steak on top and wrap tightly. Chill 20 minutes. Repeat.

  4. 04

    Cut pastry in half, wrap each parcel, seal seams underneath and trim. Brush with egg; chill 15 minutes.

  5. 05

    Bake at 425°F 20–25 minutes until pastry is deep golden and the center reads 125°F for medium-rare.

  6. 06

    Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
