Wellingtons have always been a food of the British elite, and I would never dream of dismissing them, but sadly they are mostly quite bland. The one thing that seems to bring them life is the gravy, but too many cooks spoil the broth.
How To Make A Beef Wellington Recipe
For those who don’t know, beef Wellington is a traditionally British and French dish made of meat and potatoes wrapped in puff pastry. It’s best to only make one large Beef Wellington if you are serving 6 or fewer guests, and one smaller serving if you have more than that. The filling of this dish is typically a mixture of ground beef and veal, and the top is traditionally made of foie gras or truffles.
Cooking Methods For Beef Wellington
Beef Wellington can be made from ground beef, but this can be hard to cook and does not give the filling enough structural support. Boneless beef short ribs are commonly used for Beef Wellington, because they give the filling more support. The meat is then coated with a breadcrumb and egg mixture. The filling is then steamed before it is rolled up and seared on the outside. It is then left to set before it is served. Once cooked, the beef Wellington will have a soft, custard-like filling.
How to Cook Beef Wellington
Once you’ve made your beef Wellington, let it rest in the fridge for 2-3 hours. If you find your Wellington is a little cold, heat it in the microwave until it’s warmed through. Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Place a greaseproof paper or non-stick baking tray on a low shelf in your oven. Take your Wellington out of the fridge and gently remove the sausage and pistons from the pastry. Put the pastry onto the baking tray, with the pastry overhanging the edges. Fill with beef, vegetables, and chicken, then top with the remaining pastry. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven, leave to cool for a few minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.
How to Make Chicken and Beef Wellington
The trick to making this dish is to prepare the chicken and beef ahead of time. Make the chicken and beef Wellington base while the chicken is still raw. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the cooked chicken and beef in a container to keep warm. Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken and serve. The beef Wellington should be served on the same day that it is made. Reheating is not recommended.
How To Make Your Own Béchamel Sauce
One of the best things about making this recipe is that you can enjoy it on a bed of mashed potatoes. It also makes for a great hors d’oeuvre for guests. The béchamel sauce is used to coat the beef, which adds a rich and creamy flavor. It can be easily adapted and used for other recipes, such as pasta. This is my family’s favorite recipe and is great for large or small parties. You can enjoy it as a one-bowl recipe or use it as the base of a pasta sauce. You can use it as a dressing for salads, or on a bed of mashed potatoes.
