Made beef wellington this xmas eve. Maybe its my new butcher or cooking timing, but this was the best thing I've ever made. $35/lb beef tenderloin, never frozen. Prepared sans mushrooms.

    Did you skip the duxelles? Definitely great temperature

  2. Looks really good. I can figure out the meat part, tell me more about the pastry crust.

    Looks nice but it’s not a Wellington without the duxelles

    All the people here thinking duxelles makes a wellington when a corn dog is a wellington.

    Why no duxelles? Apart from a possible mushroom allergy, it really shouldn’t be skipped for Beef Wellington. Ideally some foie gras on top too or at least some duck liver or other pate if you can’t access foie gras readily (as is case for me…). The duxelle adds some time, maybe forty minutes or so but worth it.

    Meat meat without a shred of organ or mushrooms. Excellent work

  7. Looks nice but I have never been into beef Wellington. I’m a simple man. Just give me a rib roast so I can’t cut and freeze some steaks for later and make a prime rib with the rest.

    Sans mushrooms… what a shame. For me, that’s my favorite part of the entire prep process. But to each their own. The tenderloin looks great.
