Wanna skip dropping a chunk of change on beef tenderloin that's traditionally used in Beef Wellington? Grab your Anova Precision Cooker and mock tender roast, also called medallion pot roast or chuck tender steak, and give that beef a two day soak to totally tenderize it. The result? Wicked-tender beef paired with the umami of the mushrooms and prosciutto all encased in a flaky and tender puff pastry. Wanna do it the traditional way? Grab that tenderloin and cook it for two hours! Everything else stays exactly the same.

Finishing Steps
Step 0

Remove roast from bag, and pat dry. Place in refrigerator. Preheat oven to 475°F / 246°C
Step 1

Add finely chopped shallot and garlic to pan and saute until softened. Add mushrooms and cook 15-20 minutes, stirring, until all moisture is evaporated and forms a paste-like substance.
Step 2

On top of a sheet of saran wrap, place 8 slices of prosciutto, overlapping. Spread duxelles (mushroom, shallot, garlic mixture) over slices of prosciutto.
Step 3

Remove beef from fridge, coat all sides with spicy mustard. Place beef on top of duxelles and prosciutto.
Step 4

Using the saran wrap as a guide, carefully wrap the beef with the prosciutto, then use the wrap to shape the beef into an even cylinder, twisting the sides to hold the shape. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 5

Roll puff pastry into a thin square, approx 16"x16". Place pastry on top of a layer of saran wrap. Remove beef from freezer, and remove saran wrap carefully.
Step 6

Place beef, centered horizontally at the bottom of the pastry square. Use the wrap to shape the beef into an even cylinder wrapping the dough around the cylinder, twisting the sides to hold the shape. Trim pastry as necessary. Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
Step 7

Remove beef from freezer, and unwrap saran wrap carefully. OPTIONAL: Using a lattice pastry cutter, cut a strip of pastry as long as your beef, and drape over the existing pastry for a fun design.
Step 8

If not using pastry lattice, score pastry with a knife in a design of your choosing. Brush egg over pastry.
Step 9

Place beef in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until pastry is golden and puffy!
Step 10

Slice 1" thick and serve!
