What it concludes

• A 2 to 1 mushroom to shallot ratio provides the best sweetness and texture for duxelle.

• Pre-searing the tenderloin adds flavor and removes excess moisture before assembly.
• Keeping the pastry cold and working quickly prevents the butter from melting and ensures a flaky crust.
