Beef Wellington! July #3



Hey everyone!

Here is my first time making a beef wellington!
Turns out that its actually really easy and simple to make and this recipe doesn't require many ingredients at all!

P.S : it's winter here in NZ at the moment so its great for cold nights! :)


Serves 1-2
Recipe:
150g beef fillet
1 slice ham
1/2 block puff pastry
4 mushrooms
1/2 onion
20g butter

Season your beef and seal off in a hot cast iron pan.
leave aside.

Roughly chop mushrooms and onion and sweat in butter.
leave aside

Roll out half of your puff pastry for the base of your beef wellington.

The first layer that goes on top of the pastry is your beef fillet, followed by ham, then the sweated mushrooms.

roll out the 2nd half of your pastry and gently place on top.

join the edges of pastry together so everything stays in the beef wellington! :)

Prick a fork through the pastry, so any excess steam inside can escape other wise your pastry could go a bit soggy!

brush your pastry with egg wash to give it a nice colour once cooked.
Cook in your oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20mins or until pastry is golden brown.
