Ingredients:

Serving

2 (6-8 oz) beef filets
duxelle
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 small shallot, minced
1/4 cup madeira wine
1/2 lb wild mushrooms, chopped fine (you can even use just plain white mushrooms)
leaves from 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, chopped
kosher salt and white pepper to taste
1/4 lb pate de foie gras (available at specialty foods shops) at room temperature
1 sheet thawed frozen puff pastry
an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg yolk with 1 tsp of water
madeira wine sauce
1/4 cup madeira
1/2 cup beef stock (i use more than gourmet brand classic french demi-glace)
2 tbsp black truffle butter (available at specialty food shops) if you can'tsp find it, just use black truffle oil mixed with butter

Directions:

Season the beef filet with kosher salt on each side. In a hot pan, get a nice sear on each side, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let rest.
For the duxelle:
On medium heat in saute pan, melt butter. Add shallots and mushrooms and cook until all liquid is evaporated. Add wine and reduce completely. Add thyme, salt and pepper and reduce to a thick puree. Transfer to small bowl and let cool.
To assemble:
Preheat oven to 400F. Divide pastry into 2 6 x 12 inch portions, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place a slice of pate foie on one side of pastry triangle. Top each with mushroom mixture, then the seared filet mignon. Brush edges with egg wash and fold it over (don't worry if it's not pretty, this will be the bottom!). Shape edges of pastry to contours of meat. I sometimes make designs with the scraps of leftover pastry but you could just leave it plain. Flip over and glaze top of pastry with egg wash and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
For the sauce:
In a small saucepan, heat the madeira and beef stock until reduced by half. Whisk in truffle butter and season with salt to taste. Keep warm.
To plate:
Cut each wellington in half and place in center of plate. Swril sauce all around the wellington. Enjoy!
