BEEF WELLINGTON FOR TWO RECIPE BY TASTY



Beef Wellington For Two Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: mushrooms, garlic, salt, black pepper, fresh thyme, beef tenderloin, oil, english mustard, sliced ham, puff pastry, egg wash

Provided by Jordan Kenna

Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz mushrooms
1 clove garlic
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
fresh thyme, to taste
12 oz beef tenderloin, 2 tenderloins
2 tablespoons oil, for searing
2 tablespoons english mustard, to taste
¼ lb sliced ham
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed, rolled-out, and cut into 2 - 7x7in (18x18cm) squares
egg wash, 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a food processor, place mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme and blend into a fine paste (about 30-60 seconds).
  • Transfer to a medium-sized frying pan, being sure to spread it evenly across the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium-low heat while stirring frequently. After about 7-10 minutes the mushroom mixture should shrink to half the original volume and begin to form a paste.
  • NOTE: The goal here is to cook off the bulk of the water inside the mushrooms. This'll keep the puff pastry from being too mushy at the end.
  • At this point, remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and set it aside.
  • Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • Liberally season the outside of the tenderloin pieces with salt and pepper.
  • In another medium-sized frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil over high heat. Once the oil has begun to smoke, quickly sear the tenderloin pieces on both sides (45-60 seconds per-side).
  • Once seared, transfer the meat to a plate or cutting board to rest.
  • Using a basting brush, generously paint the mustard over the resting pieces of beef, making sure to coat both sides.
  • To assemble the Wellingtons, lay out a piece of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place a piece of ham in the center of the pasty.
  • Next, layer about 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture on the center of the ham using the back of a spoon to flatten the paste to about the size of the tenderloin pieces.
  • Place one of the mustard-coated beef fillet on top of the mushroom mixture, then top the piece of beef with another spoonful of the mushroom mixture, making sure to pat it down flat across the top of the meat.
  • Layer with another piece of ham and close the the Wellington by folding the puff pastry over the center of the meat.
  • Using your hands, carefully seal the edges of the pastry then transfer SEAM-SIDE DOWN to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Lightly brush the outside of each Wellington with egg wash.
  • Using the back of a paring knife, lightly score the tops of the pasty in a checkered pattern, being careful not to pierce the pastry.
  • Bake the Wellingtons in a 400˚F (200˚C) oven until the pastry is fully cooked and golden brown (about 20 minutes).
  • Allow each Wellington to rest at least 10 minutes before cutting into it.
  • Enjoy!

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!

Provided by Matthew Johnson

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!
