Foie Gras Beef Wellington Recipe
Lay out multiple overlapping pieces of plastic wrap approximately 2 feet long on your countertop. Lay down approximately 14 overlapping pieces of prosciutto being careful not to rip the slices. You want the prosciutto to be able to wrap entirely around the Wellington as well as extend at least 3 inches beyond each end. The million dollar question and the reason a lot of people mess up when making Beef Wellington is what temperature to pull it out of the oven. In my article about cooking a standing rib roast, I discuss carryover cooking.
You can make Beef Wellington ahead of time up to 24 hours. Prepare your Beef Wellington according to the recipe and stop right before you need to add the puff pastry. Wrap that portion tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. Simply finish the recipe according to the Beef Wellington directions.

Add the herbs and garlic when you turn the beef the first time and baste with the seasoned butter as the filets cook. Purchase a center-cut beef tenderloin. Spread the duxelles in an even layer over the prosciutto, leaving about a 1 inch edge around the prosciutto. This will allow the duxelles mixture to spread slightly, as it’s wrapped up, without spilling out of the wellington. It's a classic recipe that's perfect for Christmas, or any special occasion.
Why This Recipe Is So Great
Wow, I was a superstar for serving this at a dinner party recently. I added liver pate to the mushroom mixture for a richer flavor and it was fantastic! Highly recommend this recipe if you want to impress! A bonus, this can be made ahead of time so it’s ideal for larger groups. Beat the egg with a little water and moisten the edges of the pastry.
Lightly brush top third of puff pastry with some of the beaten egg. Unwrap chilled beef log, and discard plastic wrap. Lay log lengthwise on bottom edge of puff pastry.
In this post I’m going to teach you how to make beef wellington at home, so that it’s perfect from the first time you make it! This recipe is an investment in both time and ingredients, so I want to make sure I give you every key to success. Season the beef with salt and pepper; when the oil is nearly smoking, sear the beef for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, or just until browned.
Lay the chard on the plastic wrap to create a rectangle large enough to enclose the meat. Spread two-thirds of the mushrooms on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Spread the remaining mushrooms on top.
Place the roast in the pan and brown it all over, taking care not to burn the butter, about 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer the roast to a plate to cool. Lay the wrapped puff pastry seam-side down on a lined baking sheet and brush generously with egg wash. Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Add chopped mushrooms, then sauté until the mixture is soft and most of the moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes.
Turn the heat on the stove to high. Once the log is fully covered in puff pastry, trim any extra pastry, then crimp edges with a fork to seal well. The center-cut beef tenderloin is seared then coated with salty and spicy Dijon mustard. Roll the meat over, crimp the edges, and roll tightly in plastic wrap.
Beef Wellington was “invented” in the 1800s, and has stood the test of time for two centuries. food mean, it’s not the oldest recipe in the world, but it’s still pretty respectable in terms of age and popularity. I made this for Christmas and it was perfect! It was my first time attempting beef Wellington and we all loved it.
Creamy Pan
Discard the larding fat and strings. Skim the fat from the pan juices and reserve the pan juices. Swirl in the butter one pat at a time until each piece is fully dissolved. Sauce should be slightly thickened and glossy. Cover the top of the tenderloin with the remaining mushroom mixture and lay the remaining prosciutto over the top. The prosciutto should hang over the sides to cover.

I was intimidated to try to pull my pastry apart as it didn’t cut all the way through. So instead of rolling and cutting another piece, I picked it up and put it on my base layer. I then used my paring knife to lightly cut through the lines on the dough. I really wanted to test how this would work out.

The recipe proves that Pinot does go with steak, especially a bodacious one like Meredith Estate. Janis receives a magnum of that wine for her winning entry. We are committed to providing you with a timely reimbursement for a purchase that did not live up to your expectations. If I’m serving these Beef Wellington Bites at a party, the other appetizers can be on the simple side to minimize the work involved. A charcuterie platter is always a winner, along with some freshly-cut veggies to balance out the other rich appetizers. When I serve a traditional Beef Wellington, I keep the sides simple since the main dish is the star of the show.
Since it takes longer to thaw than most meats, it is more susceptible to bacteria growth. Slice the Wellington into thick pieces and serve with the red wine sauce. Brush the rest of the pastry with the egg wash and cut a few slits on the top to vent. Cook the mushroom mixture until the moisture has completely evaporated so your Beef Wellington doesn’t get soggy.
Branched out once again with a smoke free meal. Scaled back Christmas this year, just the three of us, decided to try Beef Wellington. It was beyond expectations and would definitely do this again. #backyardsmoking pic.twitter.com/ZIw9B15SFq

Place them seam-side down on the sheet pan.Brush the wellingtons with the beaten egg yolk. If desired, sprinkle a tiny amount of coarse salt on top of each wellington. Place in the preheated oven and bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Brush the remaining whisked egg on top and on all sides of the beef wellington. Use a paring knife to score the top of the puff pastry.

Add foie gras and cook without moving until well browned on first side, about 30 seconds. Carefully flip with a small offset spatula and brown second side, about 30 seconds longer. Transfer foie gras to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour rendered fat into mushroom mixture, stir to combine, and return to refrigerator. Use a sharp knife to split each piece of cooked foie gras in half horizontally. Transfer to a plate and place in refrigerator.
How much does a Beef Wellington cost? The iconic Beef Wellington will set you back a staggering $63.95 while the pan-seared scallops will cost you $25.95.

Transfer to a plate, let rest 5 minutes, then remove twine and brush with mustard. My version of this classic recipe has all the wonderful flavors you crave without the headache.
