Gordon Ramsay'S Fillet Of Beef Wellington With Roasted Carrots A - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb center cut filet mignon
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
10 medium white mushrooms, roughly chopped
butter, room temperature
1 sprig thyme
bay leaf
3 egg yolks, whipped
1 sheet puff pastry
1 pint brown chicken stock (or veal stock)
375 ml red wine
8 baby carrots, whole & peeled
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 cup heavy cream
salt
white pepper

Preparation

In a hot pan, sear the filet of beef on each side then brush with mustard and allow to cool.
Rough chop and saute the mushrooms. Season with thyme, salt and pepper.
Place plastic wrap on a cutting board or flat surface. Place the beef on plastic wrap and cover with mushrooms.
Use the plastic wrap to wrap the mushrooms around the beef and twist to secure firmly. Set in fridge for 10 minutes. Remove plastic wrap.
Roll out pastry and wrap around the beef, pressing the pastry edges to seal at the base and trimming away any excess.
Brush once with the egg wash and bake in a 375\u00b0F oven for 25-30 minutes. Check halfway with a thermometer - internal temperature should be approximately 115\u00b0F for medium rare. Pastry should be golden brown.
