.NET Core console application is not creating an EXE file

I'm trying to publish a .NET Core console application following this tutorial, but when I publish, I don't get an executable file in the PublishOutput folder (I get a DLL file). I've also read this article.

My project file looks like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

It seems pretty easy and straightforward, but what am I doing wrong?
