Step 1. Season Beef & Prepare Duxelles
Place beef on the cutting board. Season generously with salt and pepper from jars/shakers on both sides. Move seasoned beef to a plate. Chop mushrooms, onion, and garlic finely on the cutting board and combine them in a bowl for the duxelles.
💡 Tip: Ensure even seasoning on the beef. A fine chop is essential for the duxelles texture.
Step 2. Make Crêpe Batter & Cook Crêpe
Crack eggs into a bowl, add oil, and whisk. Add milk, flour/dry mix, salt/pepper, and butter slices, then whisk thoroughly. Heat oil in a pan, add milk (or water?), then pour in batter. Cook the crêpe, flipping once, until done. Transfer the crêpe to a plate.
💡 Tip: Whisk batter until smooth to avoid lumps. Cook crêpe until lightly golden.
Step 3. Sear Beef & Cook Duxelles
Heat oil in the pan. Place seasoned beef in the pan and sear (timer). Brush mustard onto the searing beef (timer). Remove beef to a plate and sprinkle with sugar. Add more oil to the pan if needed. Add the duxelles mixture (mushrooms, onion, garlic) to the pan and cook until moisture evaporates (timer). Remove duxelles to a bowl. Brush the rested beef with more mustard.
💡 Tip: Get a good sear on all sides of the beef for flavor. Cook duxelles until very dry.
Step 4. Assemble the Wellington Core
Cut the crêpe into a square on the cutting board. Lay plastic wrap on the board. Arrange prosciutto slices overlapping on the plastic wrap. Spread the cooked duxelles evenly over the prosciutto. Season with salt and pepper. Place the seared, mustard-coated beef on top. Place the square crêpe over the beef. Use the plastic wrap to tightly roll the assembly into a log.
💡 Tip: Overlap prosciutto well to create a seal. Roll tightly using the plastic wrap for a compact shape.
Step 5. Wrap in Pastry & Bake
Place puff pastry on the cutting board. Unwrap the Wellington log and place it on the pastry. Brush egg wash around the edges of the pastry. Wrap the pastry snugly around the Wellington, trimming excess. Score the top of the pastry decoratively with a knife. Season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray and bake in the oven until golden brown and cooked through (timer).
💡 Tip: Seal pastry edges well. Scoring helps steam escape and creates an attractive finish.
Step 6. Slice, Plate & Serve
Remove baked Wellington from the oven and place it on the cutting board. Slice it into pieces. Arrange salad greens, sliced tomato, rosemary, and lemon wedges on a serving plate. Place the sliced Beef Wellington alongside the salad. Pour ketchup/tomato sauce into a small dipping bowl and place it on the plate. Pour red wine into a glass and place it beside the plate.
💡 Tip: Let the Wellington rest briefly before slicing for juicier results. Arrange plating elements attractively.
💡 Tips and Tricks for Cookingdom Level 40
Ensure the duxelles are cooked down significantly to remove moisture, preventing soggy pastry.
Roll the Wellington tightly in plastic wrap and chill (implied, not shown) for easier handling when wrapping in pastry.
Brush the pastry evenly with egg wash for a uniform golden color.
Don't overbake; the pastry should be golden and the beef cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is traditional).
Resting the Wellington before slicing helps retain juices.
Cookingdom Level 40:
Under-seasoning the beef or duxelles.
Making the crêpe too thick.
Not cooking enough moisture out of the duxelles.
Rolling the Wellington too loosely.
Tearing the puff pastry during wrapping.
Underbaking or burning the pastry.
Running out of time (as shown in the video needing an extension).
