3 Eggs
Olive Oil
Prosciutto
Butter
Mushrooms
Dijon Mustard
Puff Pastry Dough
4 cloves of garlic
Black Pepper
Coarse Salt

Thyme

 

DIRECTIONS

PREPARING THE ELK LIONS

  • Tie up any odd sized ones to make an even thickness. 

PREPARING THE DUXELLES

  • Put garlic, mushrooms, and thyme leaves into a processor.
  • Once finely chopped, add to a pan with a few tablespoons of butter and olive oil to sauté.
  • Add the salt & pepper to taste.
  • Once cooked down, let it cool down a bit.

PREPARING THE WRAP

  • Place plastic wrap down and overlap your prosciutto on top and then coat with a thin layer of the duxelles.
  • Sear and Prep the Meat
  • Season with some salt and pepper.
  • In a hot skillet, brown all sides including the ends.
  • Once it is all browned, cover with Dijon.
  • Be sure to cut out any strings if used.

WRAP IT

  • Wrap in a plastic wrap and place in fridge so it will keep its shape.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

DOUGH PREP

  • Put puff pastry on a surface with flour and roll it out.

WRAPPING THE MEAT

  • First make an egg wash by beating a few eggs. This will go on top to create a golden-brown look.
  • Next roll your pastry up and enclose the ends and cut off any excess.
  • Coat with egg wash. Once you are finished coating, feel free to get fancy and decorate it with some scraps.
  • Give a final coat of egg wash and put a few small breather holes in top for heat to escape.

COOKING

  • Place in oven for 30-45 minutes.
  • Bake until internal temperature is 125 degrees, never more than that.
    • ProTip: If you need to brown the top a little extra, broil once it gets close to temperature.
  • Let it rest and then cut into thick slices and enjoy!
