Ingredients

• Beef fillet - 300 grams
• Mushrooms (finely chopped) - 200 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Shallots (finely chopped) - 1 medium
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Cream cheese - 100 grams
• Egg (beaten) - 1 large
• Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh thyme (chopped) - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the chopped mushrooms and thyme to the skillet. Cook until the mixture is dry and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.
4. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and almond flour until smooth. Add the beaten egg and mix well to form a dough.
5. Season the beef fillet with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over high heat. Sear the beef on all sides for about 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and let cool slightly.
6. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the beef fillet. Then, spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the mustard-covered beef.
7. Roll out the almond flour dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle large enough to wrap the beef. Place the beef in the center and fold the dough over the beef, sealing the edges.
8. Transfer the wrapped beef to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with any remaining beaten egg.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the beef reaches your desired doneness.
10. Let the Beef Wellington rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
