I did it!! I finally did it! After several attempts, I’m so happy with how my beef wellington came out. It’s one of my all time favourite meals, so I wanted to get it spot on🥰 I have linked my key items for this in my Amazon storefront! some tips below!! 1. ensure you chill for around an hour between steps. I know this is time consuming but it means that it won’t fall apart! I chilled after the ham layer and then after the pastry layer too. 2. roll until it’s very very tight in the cling film. I think I was nervous before about rolling too tight, but the tighter the better!!! I even did 2 layers. 3. cook the duxelle down for as long as you can, on a medium high heat. I also patted down with some kitchen roll to get rid of any excess moisture. 4. I cooked on a pizza pan to ensure the base went crispy. Someone recommended this to me!! 5. sear the meat properly… this is something I haven’t done as well before and I think that’s what’s caused issues with soggy pastry. (I hate the word soggy😂). I used 600g fillet of beef which was perfect for 4 of us, with some left over too which my dad polished off 😂🥰🤣 I could have cooked it for slightly longer maybe- I did 26 minutes on 190. But we don’t mind it rare so that’s fine… but I would increase that if you want a bit more medium rare / medium. I used 400g of mushrooms for the duxelle just chopped finely with some garlic and thyme. I also used ready rolled pull pastry! For the gravy I fried off 3 diced shallots, thyme, garlic and a bay leaf. I added 600ml red wine, boiled until reduced into a syrup and then added 600ml beef stock, and thickened up ❤️ #fyp #cooking #beefwellington #dishupdinnerwithme #DinnerIdeas #dinnerwithme #cookwithme
Dish up dinner together ❤️✨🥰 recipe is so simple. I used beef cheeks from thr butchers and browned them in a pan for a few min each side. Remove and then add 1 onion, 3 carrots, 2 cloves garlic, 2 celery sticks diced and fry off with olive oil in the same pan. Once fried for 10 min until soft, add 1/2 bottle red wine, 600ml beef stock, rosemary and thyme. Bring to boil and then add the meat back into the pan with the liquid. Pop in the oven on 160 fan for 4-6 hours. When done, remove meat and all of the chunks of veg until you have a smooth liquid (i used a sieve). Thicken the gravy with cornflour and TADAAA! Easy as that!! #dishupdinnerwithme #dishupdinner #dinner #servedinnerwithme #dinnertime #couple #cookwithme #cookdinnerwithme @Samthompsonuk

RED VELVET CHRISTMAS TREE CAKE 🎄❄️⛄️🍰 I am so happy with how this turned out 🥺 I used ice cream cones to create the tree effect along with some piped butter cream (side note- turn your heating off when decorating because my trees started to melt 😂). #baking #easybaking #christmas #christmasbaking #cakedecorating #cake #CookingHacks #cookwithme
