Gorgonzola Beef Wellingtons image

Your guests will certainly be impressed when you serve Wellingtons. Besides being a wonderful, special entree, it is so easy on the cook. Most of it can be prepared a day ahead and it bakes in 20 minutes.-Joyce Moynihan, Lakeville, Minnesota

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 beef tenderloin steaks (6 to 8 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon pepper, divided
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 pound fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 shallots, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
2 large eggs, beaten
4 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup Madeira wine or additional reduced-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Sprinkle steaks with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown steaks in 2 tablespoons butter in batches. Remove from the skillet; cool slightly and refrigerate until chilled., In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and shallots in remaining butter until tender. Add the garlic and remaining salt and pepper; cook 1 minute longer., On a lightly floured surface, roll each puff pastry sheet into a 14-in square. Cut into four 6-1/2-in. squares (use scraps to make decorative cutouts if desired)., Place 2 tablespoons cheese in the center of each square; top with 3 tablespoons mushroom mixture and a steak. Lightly brush pastry edges with egg. Bring opposite corners of pastry over steak; pinch seams to seal tightly., Place seam side down in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Cut four small slits in top of pastry. Arrange cutouts over tops if desired. Brush with egg. Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well 145°)., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine broth and wine. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 30 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and thyme. Serve with beef Wellingtons.
