Jo’s Deconstructed Beef Wellington

Make rounds of puff pastry and allow to cool.

To make the duxelle – 500gm of mushrooms finely chopped in a food processor, gently fry until brown with 50g of butter, add a mushroom or chicken stock cube.

Add two finely chopped shallots, fry for another 2 minutes, add a good splash of brand, chopped tarragon and 100 ml of cream. It’s a cold suggestion.

Cook your beef – slow cooked eye fillet for 70 degrees for 3 hours (regardless of oven or size of beef) and let it rest.

Smear cold pastry round with pate, top with the duxelle, the sliced beef and chives.
