Tips

Tie the tenderloin with a kitchen twine. In this way, its shape is also preserved while cooking.
Make sure to wrap the beef tightly in the puff pastry. The tighter the wrap, the better and even the meat will cook.
Let the meat rest for a while before wrapping it in the mille feuille. Leave in the refrigerator or freezer for about 30 minutes. In this way, it can prevent the meat from overcooking.
Make sure that the mushrooms are not too watery. Otherwise, after wrapping the dough, it may overflow and wet the dough.
Spread egg yolk on the meat and on the mille feuille. This will make the dough more crispy. The inside will remain more juicy.
Beat the egg yolks with 1 tablespoon of water and a pinch of salt.
To make the dough more crunchy, sprinkle sea salt before baking the dough.
After counting the meat into the dough, you can make a few scratches on it with a knife, so that the dough is cooked better.
Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. If you rest the meat for too long, it may lose its crunch.
Serve the beef in thick slices.
