Mini Beef Wellingtons

June 29, 2011 By Lokness Leave a Comment

I have never actually had beef wellingtons before. I probably heard about beef wellingtons a few years back. Bryan and I used to watch Hell’s Kitchen, and Gordon Ramsay’s beef wellingtons sure looked amazing. Therefore, Bryan and I always wanted to try one. But we haven’t had a chance yet. Two weeks ago, I saw Claire Robinson making these mini beef wellingtons on her show. Since they looked very easy, I just couldn’t wait to try them out myself. Basically, the steps were very easy. But it may take some times on rolling and folding the pastry. The beef cubes maybe cooked almost well-done, but the wellingtons were delicious. The pastry was crispy, and the mushrooms mixture were savory and soft. These mini packets were packed with flavors. I really like them, and I will make them for this 4th of July weekend.

 

Mini Beef Wellingtons (Adapted from Clarie Robinson)

2 – 3 servings

Ingredients:

–   1 pound beef tenderloin (cut into 12 1-inch cubes)

–   1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)

–   5 ounces cremini mushrooms (removed stems and finely chopped)

–   1 small shallot (finely chopped)

–   1 garlic glove (finely chopped)

–   1 egg

–   1 tablespoon olive oil

–   water

–   salt

–   ground black pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Seared the beef cubes quickly on 2 sides only until golden brown, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate to cool down.
  3. In the same pan, add the mushrooms and cook until slightly brown and release liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shallots and continue to cook until the mixture dries out, about 9 minutes. The mushrooms should be golden brown and shallots are soft. Add the garlic, and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool.
  4. In a small bowl, beat the egg and add 1 tablespoon water. Combine and set aside.
  5. On a work surface, unfold the puff pastry and roll it out to a 10 by 14-inch rectangle. With a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into 12 pieces (4 rows of 3).
  6. On each small puff pastry, put 1 teaspoon mushroom mixture. Top with a piece of beef cube. Pull 2 opposite sides of pastry up over each piece, then fold the ends over the top to make a packet. Seal the packet with egg wash. Place the packet seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining beef cubes, mushrooms, and pastry. Brush the top of each packets with egg wash.
  7. Bake the packets in the oven until golden brown, about 20 – 22 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer to a serving plate to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  1. Tenderloin can be expensive. You can choose to use other cut, like sirloin for the recipe. The meat may not be as good as tenderloin, but at least, it is cheaper.

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & chewy laminated croissant bun w/ the taste of cinnamon & orange zest. This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
