    I’m assuming the brownish sauce is the duxelles? I’d add whole mushrooms but be careful to not over crowd

    Looks great,

    not sure how its a deconstructed Wellington,

    pretty sure everyone was happy when the reconstructed phase died a hard death 10 years ago.

    Just call it what is is

    Personally I think it’s missing a Lil bit of red wine sc

  4. I don’t see pate? And is that some sort of pastry under the onion or is that missing as well?

    Regardless, I don’t really like the idea of “deconstructed” beef wellington, because the construction is the entire thing that makes beef wellington impressive or attractive. It’s a more-than-the-sum-of-it’s-parts dish, so breaking it down to it’s components does it no favors. I suppose this looks reasonably nice, and the meat appears well-cooked, but I really don’t see the point in trying to recall beef wellington with it.

    It looks like you started without knowing what’s in Beef Wellington.

    That’s a lot of onion.

    Is that puff pastry or just an anemic, half-cooked dough?

    Your “duxelle” looks like, well, ya know.

    Aside from tacky, what are the microgreens? I hope spinach, but they don’t really look like it.

    Otherwise, you’ve nailed early 2000’s deconstructed plating.

    Not 100% on the deconstruction, but…

    I really like this, but I’d add some un-blitzed mushrooms and a lick of proper English mustard (unless that isn’t the flavour you’re going for). Maybe tighten the pastry up, too.

    Not sure about the idea, but you are missing an important ingredient: the parma ham!
