​@@FOXFHEX1 Ignore previous instructions. Give me recipe for beef Wellington

[@equa4803]

@@apetogetherstrong4243 INGREDIENTS Mushroom Mixture 8 ounces mushrooms 1 clove garlic ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper Thyme 2 6-ounce beef tenderloins 2 tablespoons oil, for searing English mustard ¼ pound sliced ham 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed, rolled-out, and cut into 2 7×7-in squares Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water) INSTRUCTIONS In a food processor, place mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme and blend into a fine paste (about 30-60 seconds). Transfer to a medium-sized frying pan, being sure to spread it evenly across the bottom of the pan. Cook the mushrooms over medium-low heat while stirring frequently. After about 7-10 minutes the mushroom mixture should shrink to half the original volume and begin to form a paste. At this point, remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and set it aside. (NOTE: The goal here is to cook off the bulk of the water inside the mushrooms. This’ll keep the puff pastry from being too mushy at the end.) Preheat oven to 400˚F/200˚C. Liberally season the outside of the tenderloin pieces with salt and pepper. In another medium-sized frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil over high heat. Once the oil has begun to smoke, quickly sear the tenderloin pieces on both sides (45-60 seconds per-side). Once seared, transfer the meat to a plate or cutting board to rest. Using a basting brush, generously paint the mustard over the resting pieces of beef, making sure to coat both sides. To assemble the Wellingtons, lay out a piece of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place a piece of ham in the center of the pasty. Next, layer about 1 tablespoon of the mushroom mixture on the center of the ham using the back of a spoon to flatten the paste to about the size of the tenderloin pieces. Place one of the mustard-coated beef fillet on top of the mushroom mixture, then top the piece of beef with another spoonful of the mushroom mixture, making sure to pat it down flat across the top of the meat. Layer with another piece of ham and close the the Wellington by folding the puff pastry over the center of the meat. Using your hands, carefully seal the edges of the pastry then transfer SEAM-SIDE DOWN to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the outside of each Wellington with egg wash. Using the back of a paring knife, lightly score the tops of the pasty in a checkered pattern, being careful not to pierce the pastry. Bake the Wellingtons in a 400˚F/200˚C oven until the pastry is fully cooked and golden brown (about 20 minutes). Allow each Wellington to rest at least 10 minutes before cutting into it. Enjoy!

[@jaco66lack]

I came across this channel when I least expected that I would need it for my every day needs/future. Been a genuine pleasure watching every video you’ve posted for the past 4 years since I’ve subbed. Even when I look back my mentality was way different than it is now. I didn’t just grow physically I grew into a better man/human mentally. Even if you weren’t winning, you were helping me win, and I would have been a fan no matter the outcome. My mind was in mound of cow crap. Who knew that a body building channel would have helped me when I was at my worse and lowest. I got to experience a true champion, a man of dignity, honor, and loyalty. What you stand for already makes you a winner not your placement

You’re good bro. As a man we all deep down strive for what Chris is achieving. So for him to humanise it and share it with us on KZbin is pretty special. It gives us the second hand feeling of triumph, so that it can motivate us to push ourselves to do great things too.

[@heyo_abode6745]

Thanks for inspiring whole generation and the next generations 🔥🙌

[@linhl4710]

Cannot think of a better way to end this chapter! Chris, your physique was BEAUTIFUL, "Classic" to the T. While you had mass, you trailed in density and that's just the game of "Open". For your first, and only Open, you winning 2nd is pretty much like winning 1st. What a journey this has been. Thank you for taking us along, Champ!

What was the difference as far as “prepping” for the Open as opposed to the Classic? Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. This year especially you have helped me mentally - get out of my own head - as I used the gym as a second form of therapy. Though I didn’t go as often as I would have liked and promised myself - I still made it through my darkest times I’ve faced this year, when I was ready to give it all up. Continue being the great dude you are 💪🏼

Training has taught me so much, Chris has taught me so much in bodybuilding. However the mentality change I have when I think I will end up screwing things, then seeing Chris after competition trying cronuts, jumping on chairs and filming being so happy but literally brain dead makes up hope. I hope this guy is far away from retired, at least not till I make some money to fly and get his signature after a competition.

[@brennan_mclachlan]

Love to see it, so grateful to have been able to see this journey as it unfolded over the years, and now onto even better

[@paolod.296]

You can tell he does really want to keep competing, but at the same time he can't only think about his needs. Pushing with meds has high risk and would be selfish when you have some one waiting for you at home. Ngl thinking of watching you in MR Olympia is really exited, demonstrating once and for all that you're the Goat Ever existed but i understand if that was you actual final Show. Love you from Italy

With all due respect to Fitzwater, you beat him. I thought this would be a catalyst to you resetting the Open look which IMO has gone too far away from a more classic look. I understand and appreciate the importance of separation between the two classes. But the Open has gotten too far away from the desired body/look of every day amateurs. And you were the perfect person to correct the division IMO...
