In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove from the pan and let it cool. Prepare the Mushroom Duxelles: In the same skillet, add chopped mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown. Remove excess liquid. Blend the mushroom mixture to a coarse paste. This is known as mushroom duxelles. Coat the Beef: Brush the cooled beef with Dijon mustard. Optionally, spread a layer of pâté over the beef. Wrap in Mushroom Duxelles: Spread a layer of mushroom duxelles over the beef. Roll in Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Place the beef in the center and wrap it with the puff pastry, sealing the edges. Chill: Chill the wrapped beef in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the pastry to firm up. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the puff pastry with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake: Place the Beef Wellington Turnover on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the beef reaches your desired level of doneness. Rest and Slice: Allow the Beef Wellington Turnover to rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute. Serve: Serve the Beef Wellington Turnover slices on a platter, and enjoy the layers of flavors. Tips: Customize the Filling: Feel free to customize the filling by adding ingredients like caramelized onions, spinach, or different types of mushrooms for additional depth of flavor. Puff Pastry Tips: Work quickly with puff pastry to prevent it from becoming too soft. If it becomes too warm, you can chill it again before baking. Make-Ahead: You can prepare the Beef Wellington Turnover up to the point of chilling and then bake it just before serving.
