- Place plastic wrap down on a work surface (2x the length and width of the beef). Lay the prosciutto slices on the wrap (shingling them) in a 6” square pattern. Spread the duxelles thinly over the prosciutto.
- Place the beef at the bottom of the first prosciutto slice. Using the plastic wrap, begin to roll the beef up tightly, tucking the prosciutto sides as you roll. Twist ends of wrap tightly. Transfer to freezer for 10 minutes.
- Lightly flour work surface and spread out puff pastry. Place the beef in the center and trim off the sides (and top) of the pastry a bit. Brush the pastry edges with egg wash and fold things up (a present / gift).
- Place seam side down on a plate. Decorate the top by braiding or a simple X (use egg wash like glue), and then chill for 20 minutes.
- Heat oven to 400°.
- Transfer the Wellington to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash all over and sprinkle with flaky salt.
- Bake until pastry is golden and the center registers 120°F for medium-rare, about 25 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before making a center cut (dividing the Wellington into two).
- Spoon a port wine/ beef reduction sauce on each plate half. Add the Wellington and top with a bit more gravy. Complete the dish with the sides and enjoy.
Season and leave to cool slightly. Preheat a large frying pan on a high heat. Rub the beef all over with sea salt and black pepper.
