Beef Wellington
Serves 6-8
List of Ingredients
3 lbs. filet mignon
3 Cups Sifted flour
1 Tbs. Dried parsley
1 tsp. Celery salt
1 tsp. Salt
3/4 Cup Lard or shortening
3/4 Cup Cold water
1 Tbs. Butter or margarine
2 Cups Fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 Cup Onion, minced
1/4 Lb. Creamy liver pâté
1 medium Egg yolk
Recipe
Pre heat oven to 350 °F
Place filets on a grid, in a dripping pan. Roast one hour (for rare to
medium meat.)
Remove roast from oven. Leave to cool at least 60 minutes. (This can be
done the night before, and roast placed in the refrigerator overnight.)
Mix flour, parsley, celery salt and salt. Cut shortening into this
mixture with a pastry cutter. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time,
stirring with a fork. Shape into a ball.
Roll dough to form a rectangle large enough to cover roast.
Melt butter in a frying pan. Brown mushrooms and onion, about 15
minutes. Leave aside to cool.
Spread liver pâté on dough, leaving (2 inches) on the edges. Arrange
mushroom mixture in center of dough.
Put roast on dough and wrap, sealing the edges.
Brush dough with beaten egg yolk. Put roast into a dripping pan, sealed
side down, and bake for 1 1/2 hours at 375 °F.
