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.

Afternoon tea was on my must-do list for London. W Afternoon tea was on my must-do list for London. We made it to @diamondjubileeteasalon. It was beyond what we imagined. Live piano performance, great service, lots of tea choices & incredibly beautiful sweets, scones & sandwiches. Our favorites were rose eclair, fruit scone, smoked trout sandwich, & ham sandwich. That doesn’t look like a lot of food, but it was! We were crazy stuffed, & I couldn’t even finish my fruit scone. If you’re still hungry, don’t worry, because you can get refills for scones & sandwiches. It was pricey, but worth to do it at least once!

York is a charming little city filled w/ history. York is a charming little city filled w/ history. Romans, Saxons & the Vikings were all here at one point. I love walking through The Shambles. Narrow street w/ timber-framed buildings & cobblestone road. It felt like we went back in time. It resembled Diagon Alley in Harry Potter too!

Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Michelle & James took us to their favorite local pub. Nice & cozy. I think I understand a bit more why British loves pubs. It’s a really comfortable hang out place. The food was incredible! We both got the roast beef sirloin. It came w/ a giant Yorkshire pudding & lots of flavored roasted veggies. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect! There is no better way to start our Great Britain trip.

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. I was inspired by our recent Maine trip to create these. Moist chocolatey cake rounds filled w/ a slightly tart strawberry buttercream & a hint of rose. They’re fun little treat for Valentine’s Day. Btw, these are freezer friendly too. Keep a few at room temp, & freeze the rest. There’ll be plenty of desserts in the coming month.😉

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆
