“Become a Master at Beef Wellington: The Perfect Stay-at-Home Parent Recipe!”
Beef Wellington: A Delicious and Succulent Meal
As a stay-at-home parent, I am always looking for new and delicious meals that can be prepared in a short amount of time. One of my favorites is Beef Wellington, a classic dish that is both succulent and flavorful. The dish is simple to make and requires a few basic ingredients that can be found in almost any pantry.
To make this delectable meal at home, you will need the following ingredients: two pounds of beef tenderloin, two tablespoons of butter, one sheet of frozen puff pastry, two tablespoons of Dijon mustard, one egg (beaten), one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, one clove of garlic (minced), one teaspoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of shallots (chopped), one teaspoon of fresh thyme (chopped), four ounces of mushrooms (chopped), and one tablespoon of fresh parsley (chopped).
The first step in preparing this meal is to preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, place the beef tenderloin in a roasting pan and rub it with the butter. Once the butter has been spread evenly across the meat, bake it in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until it is cooked through.
While your beef is cooking, prepare your pastry by layering the pastry on a lightly floured surface. Then spread the Dijon mustard on top of the pastry and add the beaten egg over it to help bind the ingredients together. Next, spoon the Worcestershire sauce over the egg layer and then sprinkle your minced garlic on top.
Now take your cooked beef tenderloin out of the oven and place it on top of the pastry mixture. Heat up your olive oil in a skillet on medium heat and add in the chopped shallots until they become lightly browned. Add your mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until they become tender.
Finally, mix in your chopped parsley and thyme into your skillet and spoon this mixture over your beef tenderloin before folding up the sides of your puff pastry to form a seal around it. Bake this masterpiece in your preheated oven for an additional 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve this delicious meal and have a wonderful time with family!
My family absolutely loves this meal and I cannot get enough! It’s always a pleasure preparing Beef Wellington because not only is it easy to make but also super delicious.
