MINI BEEF WELLINGTONS

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon salted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds beef filet, cut into 12 equal chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, diced finely
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems removed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
One 10-by-15-inch sheet frozen puff pastry, such as Pepperidge Farm, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg yolk, beaten
2 tablespoons sea salt flakes
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Bottled horseradish sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak chunks with salt and pepper. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the steak chunks and sear them for about 45 seconds per side. (The steaks will only be partially cooked at this stage.) Remove and set aside to partially cool.
  • Add the onion and thyme to the same skillet and stir. Allow to continue cooking while you place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated from the skillet, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, then add the Dijon mustard and stir to combine.
  • While the mushrooms are cooking, lay out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 equal squares by cutting 4 long strips, then cutting each strip crosswise 3 times.
  • Place a small amount of the mushroom mixture (known as duxelles) into the center of each square. Top each square with a piece of the steak. Fold the puff pastry up and over the steak, totally encasing the steak and mushroom mixture inside. Place on the prepared baking sheet with the smooth side facing upwards. Repeat with the remaining pastry, duxelles and steak.
  • Brush each bundle with the egg yolk and sprinkle with the sea salt. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve with the horseradish sauce. Enjoy.

This recipe was given to me by a dear friend. It's perfect for a special occasion, and is as good as you'll get from any restaurant. The filets are topped with a mixture of liver pate (pate de foie gras) and mushrooms and wrapped with puff pastry and served with a red wine sauce!

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     UK and Ireland     English

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
6 (6 ounce) beef tenderloin filets
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
¼ cup red wine
1 cup beef consomme
1 (3 ounce) jar foie gras pate
1 (17.25 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 cup beef consomme
½ cup red wine
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the filets with salt and pepper, then fry on each side until browned to lock in the juices. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Add the mushrooms, wine and beef consomme to the skillet; cook and stir over medium heat until mushrooms are tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushrooms to a small bowl, reserving the consomme. Mix the pate with the mushrooms, adding a little consomme if needed to achieve a spreadable texture. Divide the mushrooms among the filets and spread on the top. Refrigerate about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lay the puff pastry out on a clean surface and cut out two 5 to 6 inch rounds for each steak. You can roll it out a little thinner if you need more area. Place a steak onto a round, and bring the edges up around the sides. Cover the top with a second piece of dough, overlapping the edges and pressing to seal into a package. Repeat with remaining steaks. Place the Wellingtons onto a baking sheet, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes, for rare, 16 minutes for medium, or 20 minutes for well done. For best results use a meat thermometer to determine the temperature of the steaks, with 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) being medium doneness. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
  • While the steaks are cooking, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until browned. Stir in the green onions, and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Gradually stir in the reserved consomme and the remaining 1 cup of consomme; continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and stir in the wine. Continue to simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in butter and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve, cut each Wellington in half and spoon some sauce onto the plate.

MINI BEEF WELLINGTONS



Mini Beef Wellingtons image

I am posting this recipe in honor of one of my favorite Uncles, Edward. I snuck some leftovers from out of the fridge while on a family vacation. I must have almost wore out the hinges on the refrigerator with the amount of times I opened and shut the fridge door taking spoonfuls of the flaky crust and tender beef. I went years and years without ever having another bite of anything quite like it. My Uncle Ed is still one of my favorites and so is his beef wellington. I'm hoping this one will do in a pinch.

  • Make sure the beef is very cold before you wrap it in the puff pastry. This will help to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overwork the puff pastry. Overworking the pastry will make it tough.
  • Chill the wrapped beef Wellingtons for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the pastry from cracking.
  • Bake the beef Wellingtons in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pastry cooks evenly.
  • Let the beef Wellingtons cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
