In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the oil with the butter over medium heat. Add shallots, mushrooms, thyme and half each of the salt and pepper. Sauté for about 8 minutes or until mushrooms are browned. Add wine and simmer for 5 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Spread out on a plate to cool.

Wipe out the pan; add the remaining oil. Return to medium-high heat. Season the beef medallions with remaining salt and pepper. Add beef to the hot skillet, in batches if necessary, and brown well on both sides. Transfer to a rack to cool.

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

Lay the slices of prosciutto out on a work surface. Spread Dijon evenly over one side of each slice of prosciutto. Place an equal portion of the mushroom mixture in the center of each piece of prosciutto. Top each with a cooled beef medallion and bring the sides of the prosciutto up over the steak to enclose.

Unroll each sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out gently to make two 14-inch squares. Cut each square into four 7-inch squares. Place a beef medallion, mushroom-side-down, in the center of each square. Brush the edges with egg. Bring opposing corners of the pastry up to overlap, pinching the seams to seal. Place seam-side-down on prepared pan. Brush with additional egg wash. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meat registers 140°F. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
