Meati Wellington

Classic Steak in a classic, French-style duxelles and wrapped in pastry dough.

Ingredients 

• 2 Meati™ Classic Steaks, thawed
• 1 ½ lbs button mushrooms or cremini/button mix
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 each shallots, minced
• 1 ½ tsp thyme
• 1 TBSP unsalted butter
• 1 TBSP EVOO
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 TBSP Dijon mustard
• 2 sheets of pastry dough, thawed
• 1 egg
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a food processor, mince the mushrooms, garlic, shallots, and thyme to create a duxelles mixture.
2. In a large pan, heat the butter and oil until foamy. Add the duxelles mixture and Worcestershire sauce and cook for roughly 10 minutes on medium heat or until the mixture is dry. Take off heat and let the mixture cool completely until ready to use.
3. Heat oven to 375F.
4. Season Classic Steaks with salt & pepper to taste. Coat evenly in Dijon mustard and set aside.
5. Divide each sheet of pastry dough and half and roll out into 4 ½” x 10” rectangles. Make an egg wash with egg and 1 tsp of water. Brush the egg wash along the perimeter of the pastry dough.
6. Spread the duxelles onto the pastry dough in one thick layer leaving 1” around the edges untouched. Place one Classic Steak in the middle of a pastry dough rectangle. Fold over one end of the pastry dough and then the other. Pinch the outer seams closed and tuck the pastry under the steak.
7. Brush the outside of each pastry with egg wash and make slits with a sharp knife to let out the steam. Place back into the freezer for 30 minutes before baking.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the interior has reached 165F. 
9. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
