What You’ll Learn:

Beef Wellington:

• Preparing the Beef: You’ll begin by selecting and preparing the perfect beef tenderloin. We’ll show you how to sear the beef to perfection, locking in the juices and creating a beautiful golden crust.
• Creating the Mushroom Duxelles: Master the art of making mushroom duxelles, a rich, flavourful mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, shallots, and herbs. Learn how to cook it down to a concentrated, earthy filling that perfectly complements the beef.
• Tarragon Crepes: Learn how to make delicate tarragon crepes that will act as the perfect wrapper to prevent the beef and duxelles from becoming soggy. We’ll guide you through the crepe-making process, from batter to cooking, and show you how to use them to wrap your beef before wrapping in puff pastry.
• Wrapping & Baking: We’ll demonstrate how to wrap the beef in the mushroom duxelles and tarragon crepes, followed by a final layer of puff pastry. You’ll learn how to seal the Wellington properly and bake it to achieve the perfect golden, crispy crust with a tender, juicy centre.

Red Wine Jus:

• Making the Jus: No Beef Wellington is complete without a decadent sauce. Learn how to make a red wine jus made with rich fresh beef stock and fresh herbs. This sauce will add an extra layer of depth and sophistication to your dish.
• Balancing Flavours: We’ll show you how to reduce and season the jus to achieve the perfect balance of richness and acidity.

Creamy Garlic Mash:

• Perfecting Mashed Potatoes: Master the art of making creamy garlic mashed potatoes. You’ll learn how to cook and mash potatoes to achieve a silky-smooth texture, then add lashings of butter and cream for that rich consistency.
• Flavouring & Consistency: Learn how to adjust the seasoning and consistency to your liking, creating the perfect side dish that complements the Beef Wellington.

Honey-Glazed Baby Carrots & Tenderstem Broccoli:

• Honey-Glazed Carrots: Learn how to make honey-glazed baby carrots—sweet, tender, and perfectly caramelized. You’ll discover the right technique for sautéing and glazing them with honey and a touch of thyme, creating a beautiful balance of flavours.
