- Place plastic wrap down on a work surface (2x the length and width of the beef). Lay the prosciutto slices on the wrap (shingling them) in a 6” square pattern. Spread the duxelles thinly over the prosciutto.

- Lightly flour work surface and spread out puff pastry. Place the beef in the center and trim off the sides (and top) of the pastry a bit. Brush the pastry edges with egg wash and fold things up (a present / gift).
