BEEF WELLINGTON!
Options
Pepper Monkey BBQ
Posts: 652
I haven't posted for over a month ... shame on me.
We've been moving and are finally settling in to the new house. Having to leave on a week long work trip tomorrow, I decided to cook a special meal (experiment) tonight. Being long time fans of Chef Ramsey, I decided to try a beef wellington meal on the eggs ... and it came out great!
Beef Tenderloin seasoned with salt, pepper and coffee. Seared on the small at 700 deg.
Let the loin rest on the counter for 20 min, blended a pound of button mushrooms, one large shallot, and two cloves of garlic. Cooked to reduce the moisture. Laid out prosciutto onto saran wrap, spread the blended mushroom mixture on it. Covered the seared loin in mustard and wrapped it all together. Cooled in the fridge for 1/2 hr ... then wrapped entire loin/prosciutto combo in puff pastry. Cooked on the large with plate setter at 420 deg for 45 min.
Small was still lit from searing of the meat, so I threw some red potato slices on it and them some asparagus ... let the beef wellington rest for 5 min then sliced thick. Never took it's temperature ... didn't have to ... it was perfect!!! First Beef Wellington ever ... there will be many more!

Wow, That looks awesome!! I'll be trying that soon!! Congrats on the new place!

THAT IS NICELY DONE!! Nothing over cooked or burned and crust looks crisp! Hard to do.
-
It really was good ... what a great blend of flavors ... I'll be posting pics of the view from the new place ... really is great!!!

Where are you located now? Looking forward to the pics.
-
Believe it or not ... I was worried being the first attempt ... but it really was easy! I kept the egg steady at 420 deg ... took it off at 45 min thinking it should be done ... and it all came together .... hoping it is always that easy!

That looks great. I have been wanting to try that and have only seen one other one that Stike did. It looks like you nailed it. I would love to have the details.

Almost always I am the guy double checking the temp ... but for some reason I feared sticking a thermo into the meat would release juices and make the pastry soggy .... so I didn't take the temp once ....... got lucky I guess!
-
summed it up in my post ... feel free to email me and I'd gladly share step by step ... only photos I have are in the post!

This forum and its members have been blowing my mind for about 10 years now. Your post is one example why. DANG!

Thanks Chris ...
Compliments from anyone on the forum are always great ... but it certainly means a lot coming from you! I recall a simple duck breast at the Waldorf 2009 after party that was memorable as well!

:woohoo: VERY tempting! we will soon have air service into LAX :woohoo: Any cheap flights from there to the SF Bay area????

looks great. i love doing a wellington. my favorite method was when i did them as individual wellingtons, using individual filets. i also seared them like you did, which is an important step.
anything with 'srooms in it can't be bad.
did you add pate'?
gives a nice richness to the shallot/mushroom mixtureed egli avea del cul fatto trombetta -Dante -

Did we meet at Waldorf??? It was small and I should remember you.
