Beef Wellington

 

Ingredients

1kg/2lb 2oz piece beef fillet, trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp English mustard
250g/9oz ready-made puff pastry
1 free-range egg, beaten
2 tbsp butter

 

Instructions

  1. Season the beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper and sprinkle with thyme.
  2. Heat a frying pan until very hot and add a little oil.
  3. Cook the beef briefly, turning occasionally, until brown on all sides. Remove the beef and allow to cool then spread the mustard all over the beef
  4. Roll the puff pastry out so that it’s big enough to wrap around the beef and completely enclose it.
  5. Place the beef on top of the pastry and roll it up to form a parcel. Brush the edges with beaten egg and press down to close.
  6. Brush the beef Wellington all over with beaten egg and then place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  7. Place the Beef Wellington onto a sheet of buttered baking parchment.
  8. Transfer to the halogen oven to bake on 160C for 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden-brown and the beef is cooked to your liking. Use the lower rack.
  9. You may need to cover with foil for the first 15 minutes to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  10. Remove from the oven resting for five minutes, and then serving in slices with your chosen vegetables.

 Happy cooking
