Time 1h35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (1 1/2 kg) filet of beef
olive oil
30 g butter
200 g foie gras pate (this is expensive chicken liver pate can be used instead)

300 g finely chopped mixed mushrooms (brown, blue, chantrelles or whatever is in season)
3 tablespoons heavy cream (double)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup madeira wine
1 cup beef broth (store bought stock is fine)
1 teaspoon cornflour
3 tablespoons of chopped black truffles (very expensive and can be omitted but the flavour it adds to the dish is well worth the price)
butter

Steps:

  • First make the mushroom mixture which can be made a day in advance.
  • Melt butter in fry pan add onion, saute until soft add chopped mushrooms cook until moisture has evaporated, then add the cream stir over a low heat until thickened.Add parsley and season with salt and pepper. This part of the dish can now be set aside,if making it a day ahead store in fridge until ready to use.
  • To prepare the beef heat olive oil in a fry pan when the pan is hot add the beef and sear all sides until browned. Remove from heat put on a plate and set aside to cool.
  • While the beef is cooling lightly flour a surface and roll out the puff pastry big enough to envelope the beef. Take two pancakes and lay them on top of the pastry, next spread the fois gras onto the centre of the pancakes enough that it will cover the top and sides of the fillet. (allow fois gras to come to room temperature as this will make it soft and easy to spread) Then spread the mushroom mixture on, the same as the fois gras take the beef and place on top of the mushroom mix press down gently. Take remaining two pancakes place on top of fillet.Wrap the pastry around the fillet and fold in sides to envelope beef,and seal with beaten egg.

  • To cook preheat oven to 190°C and bake beef until pastry is golden brown approx 35-45 mins, a little longer if you prefer your beef more well done. Remove from oven and stand for 10mins before serving.
  • Preparing the madeira truffle sauce.
  • Bring broth and madeira to boil then turn down heat and simmer until reduced by half. Mix cornflour with water to form a paste and add just to thicken slightly, add truffles allow to simmer a few minutes more then add butter and serve immediately.
  • It sounds complex but it really is not and it is well worth it for a special occasion. Most of it can be prepared in advance so you can enjoy time with your guests while it is cooking.

Provided by Chef John

Time 2h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 large brown mushrooms, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons minced shallots
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons white wine
2 ounces pate
4 (8 ounce) filet mignon steaks
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 (17.25 ounce) package frozen puff pastry
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 large egg, beaten
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and salt; cook and stir until well browned and caramelized, about 5 minutes. They will be wet and soggy at first but will dry out.
  • Add shallots and cook until they soften up and turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add black pepper, cayenne, and white wine. Stir until wine evaporates, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool to room temperature.
  • Add pate to cooled mushroom mixture; toss and mash with a spoon until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • Generously season filets with salt and pepper. Melt butter for Wellingtons in the same pan over high heat. Sear, one at a time, in the hot pan until the sides and edges are nicely browned, about 5 minutes per filet. Transfer to a plate and place in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Cut each sheet of pastry into 4 squares. Place one square frozen puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Spoon about 3 tablespoons pate mixture into the center and press out to roughly the same size as a filet. Spread 1/2 tablespoon mustard on top of one filet and place mustard-side down on the pate.
  • Gently stretch and fold the shorter sides of the pastry around the filet, then bring the longer sides up and over to seal. You can stretch the dough that will be on the bottom of the filet, but try not to stretch it on the sides and top. It's okay to have a couple of small holes at the bottom. Flip Wellington over and place seam-side down on a plate. Repeat to form remaining 3 Wellingtons, then transfer all to the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Cut remaining 4 squares of puff pastry into circles that are roughly the size of the Wellingtons. Place on the prepared sheet pan and poke all over each circle with a fork.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip, and press circles down with a spatula to flatten. Return to the oven and bake until cooked through and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and lift off the sheet pan to cool. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Transfer Wellingtons to the freezer for exactly 15 minutes. Line the same sheet pan with aluminum foil, then top with parchment paper. Beat egg with water in a small bowl.
  • When Wellingtons have been in the freezer for 15 minutes, transfer to the prepared pan and generously brush with egg wash.
  • Bake pastry in the center of the preheated oven until pastry is golden brown and puffed and filets are cooked through, 23 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 122 degrees F (50 degrees C).
  • Immediately remove from the hot pan and transfer onto a plate or cutting board for at least 5 minutes. Cut Wellingtons in half, then trim each end to create a flat surface.
  • Place each rounded pastry base on a plate and stand 2 filet halves on top with center cut facing up.

Minced chives, for garnish
Green Peppercorn Sauce, recipe follows
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Fresh Herbs and Garlic, recipe follows
Warm Wilted Winter Greens, recipe follows
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
1 cup brandy
1 box beef stock
2 cups cream
2 tablespoons grainy mustard
1/2 cup green peppercorns in brine, drained, brine reserved
2 pints fingerling potatoes
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 to 3 sprigs fresh sage
3 sprigs fresh thyme
6 cloves garlic, left unpeeled
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus for sheet pan
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 pint walnuts, for garnish
3 bunches assorted winter greens (such as Swiss chard, radicchio, or escarole), washed, stemmed, and torn into pieces
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, for garnish
Parmesan shavings, for garnish
1 shallot, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the Duxelles:
  • To make the Duxelles: Add mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add butter and olive oil to a large saute pan and set over medium heat. Add the shallot and mushroom mixture and saute for 8 to 10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
  • For the Beef:
  • To prepare the beef: Tie the tenderloin in 4 places so it holds its cylindrical shape while cooking. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper and sear all over, including the ends, in a hot, heavy-based skillet lightly coated with olive oil - about 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile set out your prosciutto on a sheet of plastic wrap (plastic needs to be about a foot and a half in length so you can wrap and tie the roast up in it) on top of your cutting board. Shingle the prosciutto so it forms a rectangle that is big enough to encompass the entire filet of beef. Using a rubber spatula cover evenly with a thin layer of duxelles. Season the surface of the duxelles with salt and pepper and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. When the beef is seared, remove from heat, cut off twine and smear lightly all over with Dijon mustard. Allow to cool slightly, then roll up in the duxelles covered prosciutto using the plastic wrap to tie it up nice and tight. Tuck in the ends of the prosciutto as you roll to completely encompass the beef. Roll it up tightly in plastic wrap and twist the ends to seal it completely and hold it in a nice log shape. Set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to ensure it maintains its shape.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry out to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Depending on the size of your sheets you may have to overlap 2 sheets and press them together. Remove beef from refrigerator and cut off plastic. Set the beef in the center of the pastry and fold over the longer sides, brushing with egg wash to seal. Trim ends if necessary then brush with egg wash and fold over to completely seal the beef - saving ends to use as a decoration on top if desired. Top with coarse sea salt. Place the beef seam side down on a baking sheet.
  • Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash then make a couple of slits in the top of the pastry using the tip of a paring knife ¿ this creates vents that will allow the steam to escape when cooking. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until pastry is golden brown and beef registers 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven and rest before cutting into thick slices. Garnish with minced chives, and serve with Green Peppercorn Sauce, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Fresh Herbs and Garlic, and Warm Wilted Winter Greens.
  • Add olive oil to pan after removing beef. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme; saute for 1 to 2 minutes, then, off heat, add brandy and flambe using a long kitchen match. After flame dies down, return to the heat, add stock and reduce by about half. Strain out solids, then add 2 cups cream and mustard. Reduce by half again, then shut off heat and add green peppercorns.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F and place a baking sheet inside to heat.
  • Add potatoes, rosemary, sage, thyme, and garlic to a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Remove sheet pan from oven, lightly coat with olive oil, and pour potatoes onto pan. Place potatoes in oven and reduce heat to 425 degrees F. Roast for 20 minutes, or until crispy on outside and tender on inside.
  • Cook honey and balsamic together over medium-high heat in a large saute pan, about 5 minutes. Toast walnuts in a small skillet; set aside to cool.
  • Pile greens on a platter. Stir mustard into balsamic-honey dressing, then whisk in about 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil; pour over greens. Season greens with salt and pepper and garnish with walnuts, pomegranate seeds, shavings of Parmesan, and shallot.
