BEEF WELLINGTON
INGREDIENTS METHOD
2 x 400g beef fillets Serves 4
Olive oil, for frying
1 Wrap each piece of beef tightly in a triple layer of cling film to set its shape, then chill overnight.
500g mixture of wild mushrooms, cleaned
1 thyme sprig, leaves only 2 Remove the cling film, then quickly sear the beef fillets in a hot pan with a little olive oil for 30-60
seconds until browned all over and rare in the middle. Remove from the pan and leave to cool.
500g puff pastry
8 slices of Parma ham
3 Finely chop the mushrooms and fry in a hot pan with a little olive oil, the thyme leaves and some
2 egg yolks, beaten with 1 tbsp water and a seasoning. When the mushrooms begin to release their juices, continue to cook over a high heat for
pinch of salt about 10 minutes until all the excess moisture has evaporated and you are left with a mushroom paste
(known as a duxelle). Remove the duxelle from the pan and leave to cool.
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 Cut the pastry in half, place on a lightly floured surface and roll each piece into a rectangle large
For the red wine sauce enough to envelop one of the beef fillets. Chill in the refrigerator.
9 Pour in the vinegar and let it bubble for a few minutes until almost dry. Now add the wine and boil
until almost completely reduced. Add the stock and bring to the boil again. Lower the heat and simmer
gently for 1 hour, removing any scum from the surface of the sauce, until you have the desired
consistency. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve lined with muslin. Check for seasoning and set aside.
10 When you are ready to cook the beef wellingtons, score the pastry lightly and brush with the egg wash
again, then bake at 200°C/Gas 6 for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and cooked.
Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
11 Meanwhile, reheat the sauce. Serve the beef wellingtons sliced, with the sauce as an accompaniment.
