Continuing on with my version of Beef Wellington adapted from…
Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution!!
You can find my modified recipe at Beef Wellington Recipe!!
Ok, so… our veggies are prepared…
Now we’ll reduce the Chicken Stock and Marsala…
CHEAP Marsala $5.99…
Add some fresh Thyme and a Bay Leaf… or NOT!!
I had them on hand…
Mix the pre-prepared veggies… and season…
Add the Beef…
Break it up, but treat it with respect… ground Beef doesn’t like being abused… a tender touch is called for!!
Otherwise it becomes tough 😱
Mix…
Get the 2 pack of bought Puff Pastry ready…
Roll it out a little…
Distribute your filling (I had some left over !!)…
Make an Egg wash: whisk up an Egg…
I once read an Egg basted well is worth TWO!!!
Probably a quote from the war… when Eggs were scarce!!!
After Egg washing the whole of the Pastry, start to wrap the skirting around the meat…
Roll away from you…
Roll forward and bring the ends in…
Place your masterpiece on a lightly floured, foiled and parchmented rimmed baking tray!!
This thing’s gonna leak 😝
Egg wash its outer coating…
Pepper… BEEF LOVES PEPPER!!
Your HEIR IS OVEN READY…
MEANWHILE THE “SPARE” needs loving sealing in cling…
Once or twice!!
Label WELL and deposit in the DEEP FREEZE!!
