Ground Beef Wellington Recipe 455

GROUND BEEF WELLINGON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Peel and chop the carrot, onion, potato and celery into 1/4 inch size dice.
• Grate (or mince) the garlic.
• Clean and roughly chop the mushroom so the pieces are about the same size as the other veggies.
• Put all the veggies into a large frying pan on medium-low, with approximately 2 T. of olive oil.
• If using the rosemary: Pluck the rosemary leaves off of the stems , finely chop them and add them to the pan.
• Stir and cook for about 8 minutes or until the veggies soften and get slightly colored.
• Add the frozen peas and cook for another minute.
• Put the veggie mix into a large bowl and let cool completely.
• Crack an egg into a separate cup or bowl and beat it.
• Add the ground beef to the bowl of cooled veggies with a good pinch of salt and pepper and half of the beaten egg. Mix this all up well. Your clean hands are your best tool here!
• Lightly dust a clean work surface and rolling pin with flour and lay the puff pastry sheets one on top of the other. Roll out the puff pastry so it is a 12 x 16 rectangle. ( Dust it with flour as you go.)
• Turn the pastry so you have a long edge in front of you. Place the ground beef mixture along this edge. Mold it into an even, long sausage shape and brush the edges of the pastry with a little of the beaten egg. Roll the ground beef up in the pastry until it is completely covered. Squeeze the ends together to tightly seal.
• Jamie says to dust a large cookie sheet with flour and put your Wellington on top of it. I did it using nonstick foil and omitted the flour dusting. Or you could use parchment. Brush the Wellington all over with the rest of the beaten egg.
• Bake in your preheated oven for about 40 minutes to an hour, until golden. If the crust is golden by 40 or 45 minutes, then you can take it out.
• To Serve:.
• Let the Wellington rest for about 5 minutes or so, once out of the oven.
• Slice the Wellington up into portions and enjoy!
• Note there will be a little bit of moisture that comes out after slicing. You may want to move your slices onto a serving platter or plates right after slicing.

BITE-SIZE BEEF WELLINGTONS

Steps:

• For the beef Wellingtons: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry with a paper towel and season all sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Quickly sear the beef on all sides until well browned, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate to cool.
• Add the shallot to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the mushrooms have softened, begun to brown and released their liquid, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat and let cool.
• On a work surface, roll 1 sheet of puff pastry into a 14-by-10-inch rectangle. Put teaspoon-sized mounds of the mushroom mixture on the pastry, evenly spacing them in 4 rows of 3. Top each mushroom mound with a piece of beef. Brush the tops of the beef with the Dijon mustard. With a sharp knife, cut the pastry into even squares around the fillings.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and egg and brush all four edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg mixture. Working one at a time, pull 2 opposite corners of pastry up over each beef piece, then fold the remaining 2 corners over the top to make a packet. Seal tightly. Invert and arrange the packets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and press them lightly to seal the pastry. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry, mushrooms, beef, and mustard.
• Bake the Wellingtons until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove to a serving platter and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
• For the horseradish cream sauce: Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream, light cream, horseradish and pepper in a small bowl. Serve alongside the beef Wellingtons.

SHOW-STOPPING BEEF WELLINGTON RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

BEEF WELLINGTON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
• Sit the 1kg beef fillet on a roasting tray, brush with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with pepper, then roast for 15 mins for medium-rare or 20 mins for medium. When the beef is cooked to your liking, remove from the oven to cool, then chill in the fridge for about 20 mins.
• While the beef is cooling, chop 250g chestnut (and wild, if you like) mushrooms as finely as possible so they have the texture of coarse breadcrumbs. You can use a food processor to do this, but make sure you pulse-chop the mushrooms so they don't become a slurry.
• Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil and 50g butter in a large pan and fry the mushrooms on a medium heat, with 1 large sprig fresh thyme, for about 10 mins stirring often, until you have a softened mixture.
• Season the mushroom mixture, pour over 100ml dry white wine and cook for about 10 mins until all the wine has been absorbed. The mixture should hold its shape when stirred.
• Remove the mushroom duxelle from the pan to cool and discard the thyme.
• Overlap two pieces of cling film over a large chopping board. Lay 12 slices prosciutto on the cling film, slightly overlapping, in a double row.
• Spread half the duxelles over the prosciutto, then sit the fillet on it and spread the remaining duxelles over.
• Use the cling film's edges to draw the prosciutto around the fillet, then roll it into a sausage shape, twisting the ends of cling film to tighten it as you go.
• Chill the fillet while you roll out the pastry.
• Dust your work surface with a little flour. Roll out a third of the 500g pack of puff pastry to a 18 x 30cm strip and place on a non-stick baking sheet.
• Roll out the remainder of the 500g pack of puff pastry to about 28 x 36cm.
• Unravel the fillet from the cling film and sit it in the centre of the smaller strip of pastry.
• Beat the 2 egg yolks with 1 tsp water and brush the pastry's edges, and the top and sides of the wrapped fillet.
• Using a rolling pin, carefully lift and drape the larger piece of pastry over the fillet, pressing well into the sides.
• Trim the joins to about a 4cm rim. Seal the rim with the edge of a fork or spoon handle.
• Glaze all over with more egg yolk and, using the back of a knife, mark the beef Wellington with long diagonal lines taking care not to cut into the pastry.
• Chill for at least 30 mins and up to 24 hrs. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• Brush the Wellington with a little more egg yolk and cook until golden and crisp - 20-25 mins for medium-rare beef, 30 mins for medium. Allow to stand for 10 mins before serving in thick slices.

TRADITIONAL BEEF WELLINGTON
