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 5: Trim all but 1 inch of the excess pastry around base; crimp. (Use excess pastry to make decorative cutouts, if desired.) Brush all over with remaining egg; using tip of knife, score top.
