SUNNY'S BEEF WELLINGTON CASSEROLE

Steps:

• For the puff pastry: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Using a 4-inch ring mold, cut out 4 circles of puff pastry. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and a splash of water. Brush the top of each pastry round with the egg wash and place on the lined baking sheet. Bake until the rounds puff up and the tops are light golden, about 15 minutes. Remove and set aside. Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• For the beef: In a large pan over medium heat, add the butter, olive oil and beef, broken up in small chunks. Sprinkle over 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish using a slotted spoon. Pour the pan juices into a bowl and reserve.
• For the mushrooms: In the same pan, add the butter and olive oil and heat over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid, wilt and gain a bit of color, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant, about 4 more minutes. Add the mushrooms to the baking dish on top of the beef layer.
• For the sauce: Combine the butter and flour in a microwave-safe mug and microwave on high for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
• In a pan over medium heat, add the mustard, flour-butter mixture and reserved beef drippings and whisk together. Add the stock, plenty of black pepper and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer; simmer until the sauce thickens, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley.
• Pour the sauce on top of the dish, over the mushrooms and beef. Place the pastry rounds on top. Bake, uncovered, until the dish bubbles, 15 to 20 minutes.

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.

HAMBURGER WELLINGTON

• Preheat the grill to high.
• Place bread slices on a clean work surface. Lightly butter one side and turn them over. Place cheese on 4 slices and cover the cheese with the spinach.
• Make four thin patties with the ground beef. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Grill the patties, in batches if necessary depending on the size of your grill, for about 3 minutes for medium-rare, or slightly longer for more well done.
• While maintaining the high heat on the grill, place the burgers on top of the spinach, and cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up.
• Grill the sandwiches until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Serve immediately -- on the good china.

TASTY 101: BEEF WELLINGTON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
• Add the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely diced, but not blended into a paste. Spread the mushrooms on a baking sheet in an even layer and transfer to the oven. Cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are dried out, about 45 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, truss the tenderloin: Measure a piece of butcher's twine 6 times the length of the tenderloin. Wrap the twine around one end of the loin and tie a knot to secure the string. Make a loop around your hand with the string and place over the loin about 1 inch down from the first knot. Continue looping the twine in 1-inch intervals until you reach the end, then tie the twine in a knot to secure (this helps the tenderloin hold its shape). Generously season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the seasoned tenderloin in the pan and sear quickly on all sides to lock in moisture, about 1 minute per side. Do not overcook; it's fine if the meat does not have a golden brown crust.
• Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the seared tenderloin to a small plate or baking sheet. Cut off the twine, then brush the tenderloin with the mustard to cover completely. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool, about 1 hour.
• Return the pan to medium-low heat. Add the butter, shallots, and garlic and cook until the shallots have caramelized, about 5 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon or heat-safe spatula to prevent from burning.
• Deglaze the pan with the cognac, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Continue cooking until the alcohol has evaporated and the pan is mostly dry, about 1 minute. Add the dehydrated mushrooms and stir to incorporate. Season with salt to taste. Transfer the duxelles to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool completely, about 45 minutes.
• On a large sheet of plastic wrap, arrange the prosciutto in a large rectangle wide enough to cover the tenderloin, layering evenly. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly across the prosciutto, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, and press down in a flat layer.
• Place the tenderloin at the bottom of the mushroom mixture and use the plastic wrap to help roll the prosciutto and mushrooms around the tenderloin. The prosciutto should tightly and completely cover the tenderloin. Hold the ends of the plastic wrap and roll the log to help create a tight seal. Refrigerate the roll until chilled all the way through, about 1 hour.
• Place a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll out with a lightly floured rolling pin until the pastry sheet is large enough to cover the log.
• Brush the top third of the puff pastry with beaten egg. Unwrap the log and place on the bottom third of the pastry, then roll up into a tight log, turning so the seal is at the bottom. Fold in the sides of the pastry and press under the log. Set the log on a large sheet of plastic wrap and roll to wrap tightly. Refrigerate again while the oven preheats.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Unwrap the log and set on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the log all over with beaten egg, then use a paring knife to create a decorative pattern on the puff pastry. Alternatively, cut the second sheet of puff pastry into long strips and create a lattice over the Wellington, and/or cut out autumnal shapes and press them onto the log. Brush the log with more beaten egg.
• Bake the Wellington until the puff pastry is a deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes. If the pastry is getting too dark before the beef is finished cooking, cover loosely with foil and continue cooking. The internal temperature of the beef should reach 125°F (52°C) for a medium-rare finish.
• Remove the Wellington from the oven and let rest for 1 hour. The internal temperature will continue to rise to 135°F (57°C).
• Slice the beef Wellington into 1-inch pieces and serve.
• Enjoy!
