BLUE CHEESE AND CRESS BEEF WELLINGTONS WITH BROILED TOMATOES, PARSLEY-DILL POTATOES AND BROCCOLINI SPEARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Put the potatoes in a sauce pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender.
• Meanwhile, pat the meat dry and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle a little oil into medium skillet and wipe it around with a folded paper towel. Add the beef and brown over medium heat, until it becomes a deep reddish brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the beef and brown for about 2 minutes more. Turn off the heat, then remove the meat to a plate and reserve.
• Sprinkle flour on work surface and roll out dough a little, then cut into 4 pieces. Pile a little watercress on each piece of dough, top with crumbles of cheese and some meat. Wrap the dough around the filling and cut a small vent in the top of each parcel. Cover a baking sheet with parchment, arrange the parcels on the baking sheet and brush them with the egg wash, using a pastry brush. Bake until deep golden, about 12 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the parcels rest.
• While the parcels bake, bring a couple of inches of water, in a deep-sided skillet, to a boil over medium heat for the broccolini.
• Put the broiler on high.
• Arrange the tomatoes on small baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss the crouton crumbs with half of the parsley in a small bowl. Sprinkle the crumbs on the tomatoes and drizzle with a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. When the broiler is hot, put the tomatoes in the center of oven and broil until bubbly and the crumbs are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Salt the boiling water and add the broccolini spears. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then drain.
• Drain potatoes and put them back into the hot pot with the butter, the dill and the remaining parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
• Serve each beef parcel on plates with a broiled tomato half, a few potatoes and a couple of spears of broccolini.
