Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 100°C.
  • Briefly sear the beef fillet in hot olive oil until browned on all sides.
  • Wrap the beef tightly in several layers of cling film to form a cylinder.
  • Roast the wrapped beef for 1 hour, then chill in the fridge until cold.
  • Fry chopped Portobello mushrooms in butter until the liquid evaporates.
  • Wilt the spinach in a pan with butter and set aside.
  • Whisk two whole eggs, flour, and milk to create a smooth pancake batter.
  • Fry the thin pancakes in butter until golden-brown on both sides.
  • Beat the pâté until smooth and increase oven temperature to 230°C.
  • Roll puff pastry into a 40cm x 50cm rectangle.
  • Layer pancakes, pâté, spinach, and mushrooms onto the pastry, leaving a border.
  • Place the beef on top, brush the border with egg yolks, and roll tightly.
  • Brush the exterior with egg yolks and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Sauté wild mushrooms in butter and deglaze with Madeira.
  • Add concentrated stock and simmer until reduced by one-third.
  • Slice the Wellington and serve with the mushroom Madeira sauce.
