BEEF WELLINGTON

Traditional beef Wellington often calls for liver pate, but I prefer the mushroom filling version. This dish has replaced turkey as our standard Christmas fare.

SHOW-STOPPING BEEF WELLINGTON RECIPE BY TASTY



Show-Stopping Beef Wellington Recipe by Tasty image

The ultimate beef Wellington can seem difficult to make, but each step is actually pretty simple. After cooking the seasoned beef, brush it with mustard and store in the fridge. Then fry up some chopped mushrooms and shallots in butter before wrapping the beef in prosciutto and the mushroom mixture. All that's left is unraveling some store-bought puff pastry and making a beautiful, woven, floral design before baking. It's hard to cut into this masterpiece, but the taste is worth it!

Categories     Dinner

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb center-cut beef tenderloin
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
¼ cup english mustard
1 tablespoon butter
2 shallots, minced
2 lb cremini mushroom, minced
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ lb prosciutto, thinly sliced, or ham
1 sheet puff pastry
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Let the beef tenderloin come to room temperature. Season with kosher salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Add canola oil to a large pan on high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tenderloin. Without moving the tenderloin, cook until a dark brown crust forms, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat searing on all sides, including the tenderloin ends.
  • Remove the tenderloin from the pan and transfer to a cutting board or wire rack and remove ties.
  • Brush the mustard on all sides of the meat while it's still warm. Let the meat rest for while making the duxelle (mushrooms cooked and reduced until dry).
  • To the same pan, add the butter, mushrooms, minced shallot, and minced garlic over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid evaporates and the mushroom mixture becomes a thick 25-30 minutes, dry-like paste. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the pan and let cool completely.
  • Place a large layer of overlapping sheets of plastic wrap on your work surface that is twice the length and width of the tenderloin.
  • Lay overlapping strips of prosciutto on the plastic into an even square layer.
  • Spread a layer of the mushrooms evenly over the prosciutto.
  • Tightly and evenly wrap the tenderloin with the prosciutto, using the plastic wrap to wrap it even tighter and seal ends. Tie the ends of the plastic wrap together to hold the Wellington's shape. Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place a new layer of plastic wrap on the work surface and lay a sheet of puff pastry over it. Unwrap the prosciutto-wrapped beef tenderloin onto the puff pastry, wrapping until the ends meet. Cut off any extra puff pastry, making sure there is no overlap.
  • Wrap the puff pastry in plastic wrap, tying the ends together to form a log shape. Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Place the beef Wellington on a greased, parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush the surface with the beaten eggs. With a fork, score a decorative design onto the surface of the puff pastry.
  • Decorate with additional pastry (optional). Sprinkle with kosher salt.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until the puff pastry is a dark golden brown and the internal temperature of the beef is 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
  • Enjoy!

A pastry-wrapped, melt-in-your-mouth, traditional beef wellington that everyone will love!

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 medium portobello mushroom caps, chopped
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ¼ pounds New York strip steak, trimmed
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons prepared English mustard
8 thin slices prosciutto
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Place mushrooms in the bowl of a food processor. Blend to a very fine consistency.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and 1 pinch salt and pepper. Cook until moisture evaporates and mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Lightly season strip steak with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan over high heat and add olive oil. Sear strip lightly on all sides to seal in juices, 5 to 7 minutes total, making sure not to overcook. Remove and baste with English mustard.
  • Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and place prosciutto on top in 2 rows of 4, overlapping them. Spread mushrooms evenly on top. Place steak in the center and roll prosciutto tightly around it. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, twisting the ends. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Roll out pastry sheet; unwrap steak and place in the center. Mix egg and water in a bowl to make egg wash. Apply egg wash to the edges of the pastry using a pastry brush. Fold pastry tightly around steak. Chill for 5 minutes.
  • Brush egg wash over the pastry and sprinkle sea salt on top. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pastry turns golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into 1-inch pieces.
