Funzionalità Premium
Beef Wellington offers a rich and savory profile, characterized by tender beef, earthy mushrooms, and flaky pastry.
The core flavor is the high-quality beef tenderloin, providing a melt-in-your-mouth texture and robust beefy taste. The duxelles, a finely chopped mushroom mixture (often with shallots, garlic, and herbs), contributes an earthy and umami depth. Prosciutto or pâté adds a salty and savory layer. The puff pastry encasing the dish creates a buttery and flaky crust that complements the rich filling. Seasonal vegetables, such as roasted root vegetables or green beans, provide a fresh counterpoint to the richness of the Wellington.
Funzionalità Premium
Beef Quality
Use a high-quality beef tenderloin for the best flavor and texture. Sear it quickly to achieve a beautiful crust before wrapping.
Duxelles Preparation
Ensure the duxelles is cooked until all the moisture has evaporated. This prevents the pastry from becoming soggy.
Pastry Perfection
Use a high-quality all-butter puff pastry for the flakiest crust. Score the pastry before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent bursting.
Temperature Control
Use a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature of the beef and ensure it is cooked to your desired doneness. Allow the Wellington to rest after baking before slicing.
