How to assemble beef wellington

This step-by-step will help you put together the most beautiful beef wellington ever!

STEP 1: Arrange prosciutto vertically in 2 rows along centre of plastic wrap, overlapping slightly to create rectangle large enough to enclose roast. Evenly spread Mushroom Duxelles over prosciutto, leaving 1-inch border. Place roast in centre; roll up prosciutto tightly, tucking in ends to seal completely. Roll up plastic wrap tightly; refrigerate for 30 minutes.

STEP 2: Place 1 pastry sheet on prepared baking pans. Cut second pastry sheet into 2 pieces, one 3 inches wide and one 7 inches wide. Place 1 long end of 3-inch piece against bottom end of pastry sheet on pan to create 13- x 10-inch rectangle; using fingers, press together to adhere.
