Instructions

1
Season the beef fillet all over with salt and pepper and sear in a hot pan with 50 g of butter until golden brown. Then let it rest for 5 minutes.
2
Finely chop the mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. In the same pan, sauté the chopped ingredients until golden brown, then season with a pinch of salt and add the chopped herbs.
3
Spread Dijon mustard on the seared beef fillet and evenly distribute the mushroom-herb mixture on top. Then wrap the fillet tightly in the puff pastry and seal the edges with a fork.
4
Whisk the egg yolk and brush the puff pastry with it to achieve a golden color when baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
5
For the red wine sauce, bring the red wine to a boil in the pan and reduce it by half. Add the beef stock and bay leaf, then bring to a boil again and simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
6
After baking, let the beef fillet rest for a few minutes, then slice thickly and serve with the red wine sauce.
