Ingredients
For the pastry
• 200g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 100g butter
• 1 egg beaten
• 1-2 tablespoon cold water, to bind
For the filling
• Small chunk of Coco-Nuts oil
• 170g fillet steak
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 85g/3oz chestnut mushrooms
• 25g/1oz slice Gorgonzola cheese
• 1 free-range egg, beaten
For the red wine sauce
• 25g butter
• 1 banana shallot, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 175ml red wine
The Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 180⁰C
2. For the pastry, place the flour and butter in a food processor and pulse until the mix resembles breadcrumbs
3. For the filling, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the steak and fry for one minute on each side, then remove from the heat and set aside
4. Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan and fry the garlic and mushrooms for 3-4 minutes.
5. Take the pastry out of the fridge and roll out into a thin oblong shape
6. Place the seared steak onto the pastry, then spread over the mushrooms and garlic mixture. Finally add the slice of Gorgonzola
7. Fold over the pastry around the steak and brush the edges with the beaten egg. Press down the edges to seal and trim the edges
8. Brush the top of the pastry with more beaten egg, then place onto a baking sheet and place into the oven to cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown
9. For the red wine sauce, heat the butter in a small pan and add the shallot, garlic and thyme. Fry for 3-4 minutes, then add the red wine and bring to the boil. Cook for 4-5 minutes to reduce the liquid.
10. To serve, place the beef Wellington onto a plate and cut open to show the filling. Spoon the red wine sauce around and serve
