Beef Swellington
- 1 bone-in rib-eye steak (about 2-inches thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup English mustard (recommended: Colman's Mustard)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sauteed Wild Mushroom Sauce, recipe follows
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves chopped
- 1 1/2 pounds mushrooms, wiped clean, stems removed and sliced (recommended: shiitake, oyster, cremini)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons English mustard (recommended: Colman's Mustard)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and preheat grill to medium.
- Season beef with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Unfold puff pastry and evenly brush 1 sheet with mustard, covering entire surface.
- Fold over and cut into 4 equal pieces.
- Press the pastry edges with tines of a fork to seal and cut 3 small slits halfway deep in the center of each pastry rectangle to allow steam to escape when it cooks.
- Set pastry rectangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- In a small bowl whisk egg with 1 teaspoon water.
- Brush pastry rectangle with egg wash and bake 25 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Brush beef with oil.
- Season with salt and pepper and grill until it's nicely caramelized, turning only once, approximately 3 minutes each side.
- Transfer beef to a sheet pan and place in the preheated oven.
- Roast until medium-rare, another 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove beef from the oven and place on a cutting board.
- Let meat rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- To serve, place a puff pastry rectangle on each serving plate.
- Drizzle with Sauteed Wild Mushroom Sauce and top with beef slices.
- Heat a saute pan to medium heat.
- Add butter and olive oil.
- Add garlic and thyme leaves and saute for 3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, salt and pepper, saute until golden and tender, about 10 minutes.
- Cook in batches, if necessary, so that the mushrooms don't steam.
- Return all mushrooms to pan, if working in batches.
- Add heavy cream and mustard and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve immediately.
