Beef Wellington chetham arms

As an incredibly popular meat within the UK, beef recipes are vast and varied. With a range of beef cuts to consider as well as cooking methods and flavour pairings, beef recipes are varied in flavour, texture and preparation time - give this one a try for yourself! My recipe for Beef Wellington from the menu at the Chetham arms.

Ingredients

  • 5oz fillet steak
  • 50g button mushrooms
  • 100g spinach
  • Puff pastry
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 10ml white wine vinegar
  • 100g clarified butter
  • Chopped tarragon

Method

Seal steak to required taste
Blitz mushrooms and then squeeze the excess moisture out and pan fry untill a duxelle

Add a table spoon of the duxelle and spinach onto the middle of the pastry disk place the steak ontop and fold into a parcel shape egg wash and put into the oven @ 200c for 10 mins
