Hey /ck/, you have any tips on making a good beef wellington? I'm gonna try my hand at it for the first time in a couple weeks, so is there anything I should know before getting into this?

Looks like meme food. Cook a real dish and avoid a major disaster

Watch Hell's Kitchen. I swear to fuck that and risotto are the only fucking thing they cook on there.
How does the dough on bottom not get soggy?

That's kind of what I was wondering too, how do the drippings from the beef not just pool up down there? Is it because of the duxelles?

This is the recipe right here. I tried it once and it came out awesome. Only bad thing is I went a little heavy on the duxelle

Don't forget about scallops

wouldn't that be more suited to teaching you how NOT to make a good beef wellington?
>>7040979
That looks DANK
What cut of beef is that?
>>7040973
it's sealed in ham I think, gotta wrap it tight as fuck to get it locked

you are very bad at cooking tbvh

i just watched that gordon ramsey video and he used ham
i've never made it, though
>>7041956
no, just very experienced. cooking beef squeezes out juices. these leak through duxelles and slices of ham. there's always at least a gum layer on the inside of the bottom part of the pastry. some people use herb crepes to add another layer to the barrier. you also wanna cook on a rack to get even heating. learning how to cook wellington and minimise the sogginess is mostly about getting familiar with your oven and wrapping as well as you can, but precooking the beef is by far the most effective way of doing it.

I've seen people use a layer of crepes around the mushies to seal it.

yo, dont forget to work with a cold dough, beef and duxelles when assembling that shit. roll up tight in cling and let set in the fridge for an hour or so before roasting on a rack. hot oven obviously

i recommend using both hands while cooking so you'll have to ask your gay paki masters to go
>>7040774
Don't overcomplicate it. I've made a few before, my family loves it when I do, and keeping it simple is always the answer. It's actually easy to make despite being daunting.
My sister and gf won't eat foie gras so I use a mushroom duxelle and mustard all over the beef after searing it. Using tenderloin leaves room for flavor anyways.
Most important thing is cooking the meat right, and making sure when you bake it there's parchment under it. Otherwise the bottom will get soggy.
