- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1: Prepare the Beef
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

3: Prepare the Keto Pastry
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together (about 60 seconds). Stir until smooth.
- Add almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and egg to the cheese mixture. Knead into a dough.
- Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper into a large rectangle.
4: Assemble & Bake
- Spread the mushroom duxelles over the dough, then place the beef tenderloin on top.
- Gently wrap the dough around the beef, sealing the edges.
- Place the wrapped beef on a baking sheet, seam side down.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Special Tip:
For the most flavorful and perfectly cooked Keto Beef Wellington, sear the beef filet until it forms a beautiful golden crust before wrapping it in the mushroom duxelles and keto-friendly dough. This locks in the juices and enhances the overall taste. Plus, for an even flakier crust, chill the wrapped beef in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before baking—this helps the dough set and bake to perfection! 🔥🥩✨
