How To Make Beef Wellington

To make beef Wellington, there are a few steps you need to follow. According to the recipe on BBC Good Food , start by preheating the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Then, place a 1kg beef fillet on a roasting tray, brush it with 1 tbsp olive oil, and season it with pepper. Roast the beef for 15 minutes for medium-rare or 20 minutes for medium. Once the beef is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven and let it cool. Chill it in the fridge for about 20 minutes.

While the beef is cooling, you can prepare the other ingredients. According to the recipe on Food Network , you will need to make a Duxelles by adding mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme to a food processor and pulsing until finely chopped. Then, prepare the beef by tying the tenderloin in 4 places so it holds its cylindrical shape while cooking. Drizzle it with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper.

Next, according to the recipe on Jamie Oliver's website , you will need to sear the beef for 4 minutes in total, turning it regularly with tongs, then remove it to a plate. Wipe out the pan and return it to a medium heat. Peel the onion and garlic, then very finely chop them with the mushrooms and put them into the pan with the remaining knob of butter and another lug of oil.

Once the onion and mushroom mixture is cooked, you can roll out the puff pastry and place the beef on top. Spread the Duxelles over the beef, then wrap the pastry around it. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake in the oven at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.

According to the recipe on Beef Wellington Recipe , the final step is to let the beef Wellington rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade beef Wellington!
