Beef Wellington with a Mushroom Duxelle Twist 🍄🥩✨

We made a delicious Beef Wellington tonight, featuring blue oyster, black pearl oyster, and chestnut mushrooms for a savory duxelle! 🤤 Check out the pics below to see the process from start to finish.

**Ingredients:**

- Blue oyster, black pearl oyster, and chestnut mushrooms 🍄

- Garlic and onion for the duxelle

- Prosciutto 🥓

- Filet mignon, seared and basted in Dijon mustard

- Puff pastry 🥐

**Instructions:**

1. **Mushroom Duxelle**: Finely chop the mushrooms, garlic, and onion, then sauté until golden and the mixture has a rich, earthy aroma. This is your base of flavor.

2. **Searing the Filet**: Season the filet mignon with salt and pepper, sear it on all sides until browned, then brush generously with Dijon mustard. The mustard gives it a delicious tang and helps the duxelle stick.

3. **Assembly**: Lay out the prosciutto slices, spread the mushroom duxelle on top, and wrap the filet in this prosciutto blanket.

4. **Puff Pastry Magic**: Roll out the puff pastry, wrap it around your prosciutto-wrapped filet, and bake until golden and flaky. Your filet should end up medium-rare at 135 degrees internal temperature.

Slice it open to reveal that juicy filet and perfectly crispy pastry! 😍 This one was a showstopper, and it’s definitely a keeper.

Feeling inspired? 🍽️ You can make your own gourmet creations with Hill City Mushrooms locally-grown mushrooms! Reach out to Hill City Mushrooms to get your hands on our blue oyster, black pearl oyster, lion's mane, and more!

🌟 From Petri Dish to Fruiting: The Black Pearl Oyster Journey🌟

Watching our Black Pearl Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus hybrid) grow from pins to full, mature mushrooms in just 3 days is always amazing—but there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes before fruiting even begins!

At Hill City Mushrooms, the journey starts with mycelium grown on a Petri dish. Once we’ve cultivated a healthy mycelium culture, we transfer it to sterilized grain to continue expanding. After that, it's introduced to a nutrient-rich substrate, where the mycelium fully colonizes the material over the course of several weeks. Only after this full colonization does it reach the fruiting stage. We source all of our grain and substrate materials from local businesses, supporting our community and ensuring the highest quality for our mushrooms.

Once the substrate is completely colonized they are moved to an environment where conditions like humidity, temperature, co2, and light are just right to trigger fruiting. That’s when you see the fast-paced magic happen—from tiny pins to mature mushrooms in a matter of days!

The Black Pearl Oyster offers a meaty texture with savory, umami-rich flavor—perfect for grilling, sautéing, or adding to a variety of dishes.

Swipe to see the full transformation! 🍄
