I made a small Wellington a couple weeks ago just to practice for the Holidays. I wish I'd seen this first, but am so grateful to have seen it before I made it for company. I never thought of putting down prosciutto! Makes perfect sense! Love the decorative touch with the 2nd layer of pastry and the rosemary. Can't wait to do this for family! Thank you so much for all the tips! Great teacher...you need to do more videos!

[@alexandermirakyan6148]

Truly enjoyed this video and I think is the best beef Wellington tutorial I've seen with someone who understands and explains all the proper involvements. Though, I personally would place in the center rack of the oven for more even cooking of the puff pastry. Yes, you do get more heat concentration towards the outside of both pastries for nice coloration, but if you notice the puff pastry was still a little raw on the inside. Otherwise, this is a perfect Wellington to me.

[@stuartwarneck6855]

Thank you my beef Wellington turned out great with your tips about letting the mushrooms and shallots cook till the moisture was out, recoiling the pastry to help the lattice maker work and the piece de resistance of individual rosemary leaves in the lattice. Thanks again. I chose only to sear the meat before cooking in the pastry.

[@marianneleth4957]

Thank you for the delightful Beef Wellington tutorial. I was impressed with the artistic pastry presentation and replicated your version - down to each individual rosemary leaf - to create a festive meatless meatloaf for Christmas... Gorgeous presentation!!

[@paulwolf1719]

I used this recipe and nailed it. However, I did not do the double layer of puff pastry as they portrayed it here. I was worried about it getting too thick. I think the picture above suggests that they too have difficulty getting the puff pastry baked well enough. The inner layer and bottom look soggy and dense. The trick of placing the seared and mustard laden loin in the oven for 45 minutes was a winner. The loin needs to lose a bit of moisture if you are feeding anyone who wants there meat medium to medium well. Great way to keep the pink, raw-looking center from being too big. Thank you Chef Steps.

[@HarrySKeith]

Love this recipe, has worked for me every time!

[@NosyHausfrau]

You don't know how much I appreciate this video. I kept asking for the cannon but I didn't know the name so I used a combination of charades and words like "the log part for beef wellington". That should have been enough but they sold me the entire sea monster. Luckily I cut it the right way but it was mostly a guess. Wish I would have seen this first but thank you so much. This helped me and will help many.

[@victorvarisco5360]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and this version. The methods played well into the theatrics. I personally have been making Wellies for many years using several methods and several ways including a vegetarian style. Not too sure of the "pre-baking" method here but to each his own. I still say Gordon's version is slightly lacking if it was to compare to this version. I loved the "insulating" commentary as far as the duxelle goes. See...there is a science to this dish!

Inspirational ancestor of *Turducken?* I still remember the first time I had *Beef Wellington,* and fell in love with it -- at a restaurant with my family, celebrating my 8th grade graduation. 40 years later, I've had it maybe 3-4 times since. It's hard to find, and the local restaurant I had it at made it only one day a week, in limited quantity, and required advanced notice you wanted it.

Scalding pan out of the oven with bare hand?16:08 in Vid

[@Mojova1]

The pan is aluminium and it cools down in a second when you open the oven. If you are a chef, the fingers you use the most to poke hot stfu like your index fingers can handle that heat. Everything that only hurts but dont burn is ok. Steel pan would be differrent. P.S 12 years working as a cook :)

[@sacredsiren]

This is a youtube show, not real life. Note the lack of butter bubbling around the edges, and the lack of steam when he cut into that thing. I am going to say, as someone who worked in a professional pastry kitchen that did a lot of TV segments around the holidays, that it was a rested wellington that was placed back into the oven for the reveal shot.

[@mikecoughlin4128]

I agree. I was searching the comments to see if anyone else said this. The outer layer was nice but the inside of the pastry seemed too underdone. We’re making it next week, we’ll see how ours is.

What’s the go with the thermometer placement on the top not the center?

[@ludovicst-gelais5895]

Heat is coming from the outside of the beef wellington. It continues to cook for a bit when you get it out of the oven. If the meat reaches this temp in its core, it will be overcooked when you'll serve it.

[@bostonbesteats364]

As Ludovic says, he's assuming that carry-over cooking will continue to cook the interior of the meat, so you want to stop when the outer portion of the meat reaches a certain temperature (there's an extensive discussion about this on their website, but unfortunately it is behind the paywall).

[@tessat338]

We've had good luck getting tenderloin for $19.00 a pound and asking the butcher to trim it for us. Then we ask them to run the left-over trimmings through the meat grinder and take it home for really good hamburgers. It is a lot easier and less messy than trying to trim it ourselves. The butcher does a much better job than we can do at home. A lot of them are really proud of showing off their skills.

[@balthazartheolocus7219]

@ChefSteps and all chefs out there who make beef wellington recipe, I don't understand why no one has ever thought of adding a rack in the baking tray to put the beef wellington on and then bake it on that rack. That way you can avoid soggy pastry at the bottom and cook it more evenly. Idk maybe you all have other reason not to do that.

That was cooked perfectly 👌🏽. Totally dig the design pastry as well.

[@kkhorimoto]

One of the best looking wellingtons I've seen! Also to everyone disappointed that they didn't use sous vide: he commented like 4 times in this video about needing to reduce as much moisture as possible before baking so that the pastry cooks properly. Just because they don't use sous vide doesn't mean they aren't teaching you about food science! I know personally I use my sous vide as a crutch and rarely actually roast things in the oven anymore because of the increased risk of overcooking. But this is a recipe that you really can't do correctly with sous vide. It bums me out when I see all the beef wellingtons on r/sousvide where the pastry is obviously undercooked in the middle haha

Keep in mind I fully agree with you, I think they were trying to make sure the tenderloin was edge to edge red in the middle instead of red in the middle and well on the edges. That being said there's way better methods of making sure it stays red all the way through while still having an accurate temperature in the middle. Haven't been terribly impressed with these recent recipes they've been doing tbh.

Great video however and I was super impressed with how beautiful it looks. Joule: best thing I've purchased for the kitchen for years!
