Foodie Friday: Beef Wellington


It's Foodie Friday!
Here's the calendar.

Today we're cooking Bandwith's Beef Wellington!
1. Brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.


2. Sear on all sides. Bandwith did this on the grill.

Wrap in Saran Wrap and chill for an hour.
3. Remove from fridge. Arrange prosciutto over roast

Keep plastic wrap under the roast for easy handling.

4. Cover with roasted garlic and chill for wrap in puff pastry--brush the pastry with egg wash. Chill--puff pastry loves the cold.


5. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, or until pastry puffs.




Let's eat!

Bandwith, you did a great job!

I forgot to add: after searing, wrap the roast in plastic wrap and chill for an hour. When you reach the puff pastry step--chill for an hour, then pop into a pre-heated oven.
I was afraid to add this because I'm worried that I will tamper with Mr. Linky! I fear him more than rats and bees.
Hugs to all,
Gollum

Okay, if Bandwith needs another home away from home, he can come stay with me and cook for me. How pretty this turned ouit, and it sounds delicious! laurie

Martha said...

This looks amazing. It has been a dish that I've been afraid of but after seeing your post, this will be my next special dinner.

Mr. Linky strikes terror in the hearts of users! I'm right there with you with the rats, (add wasps/yellow jackets for me, please.)

Beautiful Beef Wellie! Love the idea of adding Prosciutto for an added flavor twist.

Very nice! xo~m.

LOL Gollum its okay to edit after adding The Linkster Man. I do it all the time. But I agree, he does make me feel like a nervous wreack every week. LOL

This looks just beautiful, and its one of my fave meat dishes. I hardly ever prepare it, but this looked so easy. Bandwidth indeed, did Good!!!!

Thanks so much for hosting Foodie Friday again, and for sharing this beautiful post!

Joycee said...

You're so funny, fearing little ol' Mr. Linky! I do love this time of year when grill season starts and males all over the world step up to the fire and cook for their women!

SusanQ said...

We both brought the main course tonight ;) Your beef wellington looks fabulous and cooked to perfection - Mr. Linky would be brought to his knees!

Amy said...

Oh my gosh, your beef Wellington looks so incredibly yummy! Happy Foodie Friday. Amy :)

Susan (Between Naps on the Porch) said...

Wow...that looks good! I'm with Laurie...you can send Mr. Bandwith right to my house...I have a hardly ever used kitchen completely at his disposal! :-)
I asked Mr. Linky about editing after publishing a post and he said as long as you don't change the code in any way, you can add or subtract...add pics...whatever you want to do...just stay away from the code, and no one gets hurt!
I do it all the time...I just make a wiiiiide berth around Mr. Linky code...and all is well. :-)

That looks great! You just can't go wrong with puff pastry!

Nancy Jane said...

Well this was a very timely Beef Wellington post! I just tried using puff pastry sheets for the first time to make a tart from Easter leftovers! (It's at the end of my Foodie Friday entry.) I was so intrigued by your creations the last several weeks that I just had to give it a whirl. Young Bandwith's recipe looks wonderful! I just love to see young men at home in the kitchen! Nancy

Cathy said...

Your Wellington is perfection. What a beautiful meal. This would really impress my family.

Tammy518 said...

I've never fixed this before, but it looks so good, I'll have to try it sometime. Young Bandwidth is quite the chef!

bj said...

Oh my....this is so beautiful and I just know it is delicious!
I can see you are a big fan of puff pastry...me, too. I just love it...for so many things.
Thanks for this delightful recipe and for being such a great host!!
xo bj

Pat@Back Porch Musings said...

It looks wonderful! I've never had Beef Wellington.

Terrie's Lil' Piece of Serenity said...

Please.. tell Bandwith he has inspired me to try his version of beef wellington. It looks fabulous!
I really would love a taste right now. Hugs, Terrie

Cathy said...

I second Laurie's comment...Can Bandwith come stay with me and prepare this amazing looking meal?!!!

I am going to show this to my husband...he has a few kitchen skills and loves anything beef related.

As always your photos are amazing!!!

Have a wonderful Foody Friday!!!
XOXO
Cathy

Nancy said...

Oh Lawd, That looks divine!!!! Nancy

Dixie said...

on ocassion, I visit Mr. Gordon Ramsey's TV kitchen and listen to him berate the psuedo-chefs about their Beef Wellington... I think he's made me scared to death to even give it a try...

now.. thanks to you and Bandwith, who knows... maybe I'll throw caution to the wind and give it a try... as long as I can keep Gordon out of the kitchen... I think I'll be okay...

Chandy said...

That looked delicious and your Bandwidth is so nice to have helped out with a great grilling skill. I'll be joining in soon! Thanks again for hosting!

Linda/"Mom" said...

* Welllll, Gigi, if my Jim ever leaves me for "a younger woman", I think I'll find "a younger guy" for me (AFTER my breakdown!)... AND, one who cooks like Sir Bandwidth!!! Looks scrumptuous.... absolutely DIVINE... who cleans the DISHES/MESS afterwards? (SURELY not the C-O-O-K, right???)~~~ XOXOXO Linda

Really Rainey said...

I also have been a little weary to try this... but the step my step looked like I could handle it... Tell your son I'm impressed! Thanks for Foodie Friday again!

Bama Belle said...

how I missed Foodie Friday I had that nasty conficker virus that had me locked out of my blog! I hope to be back to stay! This looks delicious!

Michelle said...

My first Foodie Friday!!!

I love Beef Wellington and it's always my choice if on the menu.

Suzy said...

I've always wanted to make this. Thanks for the step by step!

Mary @Boogieboard Cottage said...

Yummmm! your beef wellington looks spectacular! :O)

The Bloom Girls said...

I have never tried this, it has always sounded so daunting! After reading your post, I am going to give it a try! Bandwith makes it look like a breeze! It is almost a shame to cut it, it is so beautiful!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Karyn

robinrane said...

Karyn's right, almost too pretty to cut. I've never even considered trying this...I have a slight fear of failure! But it might be doable!
Happy Friday~

susan said...

I had my first beef wellinton on my honeymoon in San Francisco. This looks so good. Maybe I'll give it try for our anniversary in June--but that darn puff pastry (!) Congrats on your SIBA award!

Crystal said...

Thanks for sharing!

Perfectly cooked Beef Wellington. What could be better.

It's just not my morning...sorry!! Anyway...love you blog and your "Foodie Friday"!! Have a nice weekend!!!

Room Service ~ Decorating 101 said...

Looks great and I loved your first comment...lol

Kristen said...

This looks amazing! It looks so elegant but simple to achieve!

Justine/Justiney/Tiney said...

Oh yum, anything is always better with puff pastry. But what if you wanted your beef cooked less rare?

Justine :o )

Sara's Sweet Surprise said...

I've always wanted to make this but, have found it so intimidating. After seeing yours and Mr. Bandwiths thorough instructions....I want to give it a go. To get a med well (pink not mooing) result would I sear it a little longer or would I cover the crust (preventing the crust from burning)so I could keep it in the oven longer? What puff pastry would you recommended? This Beef Wellington looks amazing...Bravo Mr.B!

Sweet Wishes,
Sara

Raggedy Girl said...

I was watching Hells Kitchen and asked my hubby if he thought it would be hard to make Beef Wellington and here you are the very next day and it looks like I could do it.

mrsben said...

I bet this tasted just as divine as it looks. Five stars for Bandwith!

Debbie at Mountain Breaths said...

You have a perfectly cooked Wellington, so I brought the side dish. I made Wellington for Easter a few years back, I think it's time to try your technique.

Gollum said...

Hey, guys. I'm having breathing problems today and I'm just now getting online today. I will ask Bandy about the cooking tips. He used a cooking thermometer--I don't know the temp for medium.

I do know he has a video on Youtube he wanted me to add.
More later.

Joyce said...

Thanks for the added instructions..glad I caught that.

Thibeault's Table said...

I just had to come back to look at your Beef Wellington again.

Kathleen said...

The fear of Mr. Linky..:)
That looks absolutely delicious!
Bandwith did a great job...wonderful dinner..

Mama said...

Me thinks Mr Ramsey has serious competition, this looks perfect, congrats to young bandwith. Hope you are feeling much better Gollum. Kathy.

Rue said...

Pinky said...

G, what cut of meat did he use? I am DYING to try this. Have always HEARD of Beef Wellington, never had it and never tried doing it....howeber, NOW I ahve inspiration....and directions:):) Love, Pinky

cedwards55 said...

Gollum, this looks sooo good. I've never made Beef Wellington but Bandwith gives me courage. If we turned our collective four boys loose in the kitchen, it would be a blast! Mine both LOVE the Food Network. Men have certainly evolved in the kitchen, haven't they?
Love your music and wanted to say Congrats on being a SIBA nominee.
Hope you're breathing better today!
Hugs~ C

Bobbie said...

Love beef willington. Never tried to make it. Thought it was too complex! But I will try this one.

Mid-Atlantic Martha said...

I hate to admit this -- I've never even eaten Beef Wellington -- yes, I've led a deprived life~ It looks amazing though!

Lady Katherine said...

It looks so wonderful! I am so hungry, hubby would not believe it. lol I was hoping we would cook more delicious foods with your Foodie Friday and I might get to eat! lol I mostly live on Ensure,now for 2 years, just eat a couple of small meals each week. I do love seeing the wonderful food! This one I can just about taste. lol

Helen said...

I would call this 'Beef Perfection'

Foley said...

Sorry I didn't make the event this week... I've always wanted to make Beef Wellington but never thought I would be able to. Your recipe makes it look like I would be able to give it a try..Thanks so much!!!

Allidink said...

I just heard your music I don't know how long you have had Full Moon on there but I looove that song. I'm assuming you saw the movie? LOL did you read the books too? This song reminds me of Jacob, and I heard another person say that about it. I just wanted to share that with you! And also say WOW I have never seen Beef Wellington and it looks amazing!

All the best,
Allison

Carolyn G said...

That looks unbelievable. I might have to try that!

That looks unbelievable. I might have to try that!

ButterYum said...

Lovely post - great photos! Thanks for hosting this!

Lori E said...

Okay I see know there is a Theme for this Theme? I just thought the theme was food but now I see it should have been a Cinco de Mayo theme. I will try to pay better attention but I haven't had my coffee yet so I can't make any promises.
