Individual Ground Beef Wellingtons

March 27, 2022 by zimmysnook

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe
An oval platter with six individual ground beef wellingtons, a bowl of marsala mushroom sauce, potatoes and green beans.

These Individual Ground Beef Wellingtons are made with ground beef instead of the traditional beef tenderloin. Making them a delicious yet cost effective way to serve a special meal to your family and friends this Easter (or any day you want an excuse to feel fancy!)

The ground beef is seasoned well, topped with Duxelles (a mixture of chopped mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme), neatly folded into thin slices of prosciutto, then wrapped in puff pastry to create beautiful little packages, which are bursting with big flavour.

Raw ingredients are laid out for the ground beef wellington recipe.
Use a 1/2 cup measure form into 8 equal size beef patties
Roll out one sheet of the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch square, then cut into 4 (6-inch) squares
Lay out 2 pieces of prosciutto onto each piece of puff pastry
Add one beef patty on top of the prosciutto of each of the four squares
Add one portion of the mushroom mixture on top of each beef patty and flatten out into an even layer.
Flip the beef patty over so the mushroom mixture is sitting on the prosciutto.
Fold over the prosciutto slices to completely wrap the beef patty then flip over, so the prosciutto ends are on the puff pastry.
Brush the egg wash over the tops and sides of each package.
Pierce each Wellington with a sharp knife to create a half inch slit for ventilation.

When you choose to serve Canadian Beef, the benefits of beef go far beyond its great taste. The vitamins and nutrients that beef provides, help you stay energized, aid concentration, boost your immune system and help keep your bones, teeth, and muscles strong and healthy.

Ingredients
  

Duxelles

  • 454 grams 16 ounces of cremini mushrooms
  • 2 shallots chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic chopped
  • 3 sprigs of fresh thyme leaves removed, stems discarded
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Marsala wine

Beef Patties

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion
  • ½ teaspoon garlic
  • 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 907 grams 2 pounds lean ground Canadian Beef

To Assemble

  • 16 thin slices of Prosciutto approximately 240 grams (8 ½ ounces)
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry thawed if frozen, kept refrigerated until ready to use
  • Small bowl of water
  • 2 Eggs beaten, for an egg wash

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Duxelles. Add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme to a food processor then pulse until finely chopped. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the mushroom mixture, Marsala wine, salt and pepper to the pan and sauté until most of the liquid has evaporated (10-12 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  • Once cooled, use a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to drain the mushroom mixture of any remaining liquid. Separate mixture into 8 equal portions and set aside until ready to assemble.
  • Make the Beef Patties. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then add the tablespoon Dijon mustard, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion, garlic and stir to combine. Mix in the panko breadcrumbs, then add the ground beef and fold in the egg mixture until thoroughly combined. Using a half cup measure form into 8 equal size beef patties, which were 1.25 inches (3.1 cm) thick. (approximately 141 grams/5 ounces each patty)
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Assemble the individual Wellingtons. Roll out one sheet of the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch square, then cut into 4 (6-inch) squares.
  • Lay out 2 pieces of prosciutto onto each piece of puff pastry. Add one beef patty on top of the prosciutto of each of the four squares. Add one portion of the mushroom mixture on top of each beef patty and flatten out into an even layer. Flip the beef patty over so the mushroom mixture is sitting on the prosciutto. Fold over the prosciutto slices to completely wrap the beef patty then flip over, so the prosciutto ends are on the puff pastry.
  • Begin folding the puff pastry up and over the prosciutto wrapped patty as though wrapping a package. Using a pastry brush or your finger, dampen the puff pastry at each point the pastry folds over itself to securely seal all edges. Place the individual packages seam-side up on a parchment lined baking sheet that is large enough to hold all eight Wellingtons without touching.
  • Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and place finished packages on baking sheet.
  • Brush the egg wash over the tops and sides of each package. Pierce each Wellington with a sharp knife to create a half inch slit for ventilation and bake until the pastry is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 160°F, about 40-45 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • While the Wellingtons bake, prepare Marsala Mushroom Sauce (recipe here) or your favourite beef gravy for serving alongside with your favourite vegetables.

Notes

  • To make ahead. Prepare the Beef Patties, Duxelles and wrap in Prosciutto up to 24 hours in advance.
  • I would recommend assembling the puff pastry packages, no more that 2 hours in advance.

Elaine only planted one cucumber plant but it has been very productive, plus there is no shortage of mint in the garden, picked up some local strawberries and the salad was done.
Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!

Sous-Vide Carrots with Hummus. Perfectly cooked c Sous-Vide Carrots with Hummus.

Perfectly cooked carrots, flavoured with a hint of spice, a pop of freshness and drop of sweetness.
Whether served as an appetizer or a side, this dish is sure to impress. The sous-vide carrots retain their natural sweetness, while soaking up all the flavours of the other ingredients. The slight spiciness is tempered by the creamy hummus.

Full disclosure… this has been our dinner-for-2, on more than one occasion. That is how seriously good it is!

Tip: Sous-Vide ahead of time, then just pan-fry before serving.

Grab your skillet, fire up the grill, it is Nation Grab your skillet, fire up the grill, it is National Filet Mignon Day, time to eat well! 

There are many ways to cook a filet mignon, but a reverse sear is my choice for a thicker cut of meat like these filet mignons.
A reverse sear is an ideal way to ensure consistency of your finished cook and avoid that terrible feeling of cutting into an overcooked (and expensive) steak! Simply start by cooking your steaks at a low temperature (200°F) until they are close to done. Then sear them on a scorching hot grill or skillet to finish.

I used the @HestanCulinary NanoBond Titanium Skillet to slow cook the filets then finished on the @HestanHome grill so that I could sear my smashed potatoes in the beef and rosemary drippings (I don’t waste those tasty drippings). The NanoBond is also ideal for searing the steak as it is heat tolerant to 1050°F and creates a beautiful crust on the surface of the filet.

You can find my tips for cooking a filet mignon on zimmysnook.ca (linkin.bio).

Beef Ribs with Salsa Verde. It is said that we eat Beef Ribs with Salsa Verde.
It is said that we eat with our eyes first and these gorgeous Beef Ribs with Salsa Verde alongside a loaf of crusty, garlic bread is meal that will bring joy from beginning to the very end!
 
The secret to these tender, mouth-watering ribs is to start with local Canadian Beef, then cook them low and slow in the oven first. Season them well, wrap them tight and toss them in the oven for 3.5 hours. Then finish them off with a char on a hot grill. It is really that simple!

Remove the ribs from the grill and rest them, meat side down, on a board sauce of bright, herbaceous Salsa Verde. The beef’s juices mix with the mint, parsley, charred green onions, & lemon juice, to create something magical. Once sliced, the ribs get drizzled with more of the flavourful salsa, the perfect balance to the rich, charred ribs.

I highly recommend you mop up the salsa, juices, and bits of meat left on the bottom of your plate with a slice (or two) of Furlani Garlic Bread. Oh, so good!
 
It was pleasure to create this recipe in partnership with @lovecdnbeef and @furlani_foods.

New Potato & Bean Salad. A perfect side dish for New Potato & Bean Salad.

A perfect side dish for cooler summer evenings when it doesn’t feel too hot to boil the potatoes and beans. Delicious served warm as soon as it is made, but it continues to develop deeper flavour if left to marinade for a few hours. Serve alongside your favourite barbecue dishes including beef, pork, chicken, and fish.
