Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Preheat skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef tenderloin with salt and pepper, sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned, then let cool.
- Make Mushroom Duxelles: Finely chop mushrooms and shallots. Sauté in the same pan for 8-10 minutes until moisture evaporates and thick.
- Assemble Wellingtons: Roll out puff pastry, cut into squares. Place mushroom duxelles and cooled beef in the center, fold and seal.
- Apply Egg Wash: Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush tops of Wellingtons with beaten egg and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Ensure internal temperature of beef reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
- Serve: Cool for a few minutes, slice in half, and serve with a dollop of creamy horseradish sauce.

Notes
Ensure beef is seasoned well and mushrooms are cooked thoroughly to avoid soggy pastry. Can be frozen uncooked for later use.
