Recipe Description:
Yossi: “Hey what about doing some British food for Kosher.com?” Sara: “Okay, give me a list of some haute British cuisine…” Yossi: “Sure, Fish n’ Chips, Chip Buttie…Mushy Peas?!” Sara: “I thought I said haute!! Why would anyone eat mushy peas?! If there’s one word that should never come after ‘mushy,’ it’s ‘PEAS!’” Yossi: “I know!! How about an old British classic…beef Wellington?”
Usually made with beef tenderloin, wrapped in a pate (often foie gras) and puff pastry, the Wellington is a succulent rich meal and only needs to be accompanied by a vegetable side (as it already packs in all the carbs and protein). Our version uses center of the rib eye (some kosher butchers might call it “fake filet mignon”), which is the most tender part of the best kosher steak. We then wrap that in mushroom duxelle and beef bacon to give it an extra rich flavor and finally, in the puff pastry. The technique is not the most simple so if it fails the first time…don’t worry! It has taken us many tries before we were able to create our delicious beef Wellington recipe. It’s a little technical, but once you get it down pat you’ll wow anyone!

does this freeze well before baking?
Yes
freeze? Hi. Can I prep this until the puff pastry part, freeze it, and then bake it when ready to serve? Also, I dont see facon on the ingredients list.
Yield Amount Hi,
To clarify, the recipe calls for 2 pieces of filet mignon but yields 1 beef Wellington.. Does that mean you place both pieces of meat in the same facon wrap/ puff pastry sheet?
Hi- you only need 1 Puff Pastry sheet, but you divide it into 2 pieces. Therefore you'll make wellingtons with 1 piece of meat in each one. The serving size is for 6 people.
The yield is wrong on the recipes and it is supposed to yield 2 Wellington. We will fix it- thanks!
Beef bacon What is beef bacon and where can I get a kosher version of it. Also is this the Gordon Ramsey wellington recipe
This refers to beef fry usually called that on the package, a few brands that sell it are - A&H , Aarons , JacksGourmet calls it facon , birdsboro just started selling a flavored version .
good luck
Hi! we get our beef bacon at a local kosher smokehouse. Like Yitzchak commented above, it is usually available at most kosher supermarkets and those are great examples of brands. This is a family recipe. A lot of beef wellington recipes are similar, as it is a classic. Enjoy!
Gordon Ramsey doesn't use a bacon to wrap his fillet. He uses a salty ham or crepe. The mustard (used in both this recipe and his) is a real British trip for a very flavorful wellington.
