Air fryer beef Wellington is a modern twist on a classic, luxurious dish. This recipe transforms the sophisticated and traditionally oven-baked beef Wellington into a quick, delicious, and hassle-free meal, perfect for impressing your guests or treating yourself. By using an air fryer, you'll achieve a crispy, golden puff pastry exterior while the beef fillets remain tender and juicy inside.
Instructions:
- Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the beef fillets for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned.
- Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside to cool.
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped mushrooms, shallots, and minced garlic.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the mushrooms release their moisture and the mixture becomes dry.
- Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread a thin layer of mustard over each beef fillet.
- Place the slices of prosciutto on the puff pastry, overlapping slightly.
- Spread a layer of the cooled mushroom duxelles on top of the prosciutto.
- Place each beef fillet on top of the mushroom layer.
- Carefully wrap the puff pastry around each beef fillet, ensuring the edges are sealed tightly.
- Make sure there are no gaps where the filling can escape.
- Use your fingers or a fork to press the seams together if needed.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly brush each wrapped beef fillet with the beaten egg. This will give the pastry a golden-brown finish.
- Place the wrapped beef fillets in the air fryer basket, making sure they're not touching each other and have enough space for air circulation.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove the Beef Wellingtons from the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure your beef fillets are at room temperature before you start cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Finely chop the mushrooms, shallots, and garlic to create a smoother duxelles mixture.
- Use a food processor to make the mushroom mixture if you prefer a finer texture.
- Chill the wrapped beef fillets in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before wrapping them in puff pastry, to make them easier to handle.
- Preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Brush the puff pastry with beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
- Rest the cooked beef Wellington for a few minutes before slicing to retain the juices.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the beef reaches 125°F (51°C) for medium-rare doneness.
