WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT BEEF WELLINGTON
Beef wellington steak is a dish of English origin, covered with fillet steak in pate, pate, and foie gras duxelles, wrapped in puff pastry and baked. The recipe calls for wrapping the steak in crepe Parma ham to retain moisture and prevent the puff pastry from softening.
To make a 5-pound fillet of beef like the one above, you need a sheet of puff pastry that overlaps in the middle. Halve dough and place it on a lightly floured surface then roll each piece into a rectangle large enough to coat a fillet of beef. The whole fillet pieces can be individually wrapped and baked or sliced and served, or cut into individual portions and wrapped before baking.
Wrap each piece of beef in three layers of cling film, shape, and chill overnight. Remove the cling film and fry the beef fillets with a little olive oil for 30-60 seconds in a hot pan until they are brown and rarely in the middle. Remove beef from the pan and allow to cool, then brush with mustard.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a large rectangle the thickness of a PS1 coin. Brush the dough with egg wash and cut out some openings in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape. Fold the ends together, wrap the dough around the beef and cut out the excess.
If you have 3 pounds of beef fillet and want mushroom duxelles, you only need one sheet of puff pastry. When you make the whole fillet, make sure you have a meat thermometer handy and have listed the baking time so you can make red or rare fillets if you do not prefer that.
The only recommendation is to purchase a good pie if you can afford to invest in a good fillet - it will make all the difference in the overall quality of the dish. For individual fillets skip the first browning step, chop the mushrooms, slice the mushrooms and skip the pate, but do not wrap the fillet by hand.
Puff pastry happens to be one of those foods that can be frozen and lose none of its flavor or puffiness as long as it remains in the freezer. If you want to be a true food hero, you have to make your puff pastry, and if you do that, you're a high flyer. Unfortunately, with all the excellent frozen puff pastry brands on the market, I didn't find it necessary.
The puff pastry takes at least one hour and 40 minutes to brown, which is more than enough time to overcook the fillet. Traditional beef Wellington recipes call for a pie or foie gras pie, a kind of smothering over the beef that adds fat and flavor while it's being baked.
I fry a few ounces of foie gras in a hot pan, then cut the slab lengthwise in half and lay it over the beef. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the beef and fry over high heat until brown. Melt the butter in a pan, add the onions and mushrooms, and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes until soft.
Mushrooms give this dish a delicious umami flavor and are a classic topping. The mixture of mushrooms, shallots, and thyme is spicy. Beef fillet doesn't bring enough umami, but this combination takes it to the next level.
For the inner filling, use a food processor to cut the mushrooms into small pieces. For the mushroom filling, place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until the consistency resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Individual Beef Wellington Mushroom Sauce Gourmet Beef Wellington served with red wine mushroom pan sauce.
Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until the mixture is soft and most of the moisture has evaporated about 5 minutes. When the olive oil starts to smoke, add the fillets to the pan and press down until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side.
