For this mushroom wellington, you will need butter, shallots, wild mushrooms, sweet marsala wine, heavy cream, beef tenderloin, red wine, chicken broth, cornstarch, puff pastry, an egg, salt, and pepper.
You can always find some substitutes, such as olive oil, onions, button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, port wine, half and half, pork tenderloin, vegetable or beef stock, and flour.
Before you do anything else, allow your mushrooms to cook for a while, along with the shallots. By doing this first, you are giving them enough time to soften and release all the natural flavors. You can then begin to stir in the wine and cream.
Have your blender or food processor handy, as you will need it to blend this mix until it turns smooth. This will be the filling that goes with the steaks. Be sure to taste and season according to your taste.
The rest of the steps are probably the same, or very similar, to your classic beef wellington recipe. But follow the instructions below closely so you do not miss anything.
Remember that cooking time may vary if you decide to use another meat, such as pork or chicken. Always use a food thermometer to be safe!
Serve your mushroom wellington warm, with a side of potatoes and asparagus, a green salad, or some rice. Do not wait any longer to wow your guests with this innovative meal!
