Beef Wellington

Traditionally a beef Wellington uses a fillet of beef, which is very expensive so we found a thrifty alternative using mince beef.

First we put the mince beef in a bowl with chopped onion, garlic, 3 eggs, sage, parsley and tomatoe ketchup. And we mixed this all together. 

Chopping the onions.

Adding the eggs.

Adding the herbs.

Mixing it up.

We then shaped the mixture into two loads...

We cooked these in the oven for 20 minutes and allowed to cool for 20 minutes.

In the mean time we sautéed some chopped mushrooms with garlic and a knob of butter.

We also rolled out the puff pastry ready for the meatloaf. 

Once the mushrooms were softened we drained them and spread them on the rolled out pastry.

We then added the cooled meatloaf on top and wrapped the pastry around it.

After scoring the pastry we cooked for 35-40 minutes.

We served the beef Wellington with roasted vegetables.

One of our members gave this dish a 10/10! Everyone enjoyed their meal.
