It must be amazing for a family to share a passion for something. I'm sure at times it's challenging, but ultimately it likely brings them closer together than most families.
Everyone has their own approach. I brush the meat with mustard as soon as it has been browned, never use green leaves or crepes😳 and to avoid soggy bottom, put the meat and the roasting tray on a medium heat for two minutes before going into the oven.
Eye swear to god your preps are perfect. Eye will now do some preps also. *prepares everything perfect also* You also. is a pass, you are also perfect. ahhhh yes..... masters of le perfect. we.....are perfect. STONKS.
Do you have to use pancakes for every savoury en croute dish, like for your salmon and monkfish Coubilac too, or only for thick fillings? I am a novice home cook!!!! Pancakes are my biggest failure !!!! Thick, thin or medium pancakes here???? So grateful, thank you. xxxxx
Those starting out might want to trim the detrempe to as close to a perfect rectangle as you can after the first roll out (trimming the minimum amount needed to make all the edges straight). It helps keep the paton from becoming wonky in turns 2-6. If corners become too rounded, a substantial % of the puff will not have the same number of layers as the portion in the center, say 75%, of the paton. Both their fathers were of course, giants.

Yes. Beef 'en croute' of the French is the same nowadays. Although 'old school' Wellington I learnt 20+ yrs ago from an English chef had chicken liver pate, sliced York ham, duxelles then crepe wrapping the fillet and no spinach. The pastry was also made with beef dripping shortcrust and not butter rough puff as here.
Is there any difference between a Beef en Croute and a Beef Wellington? Since they can be made in different ways/different ingridents but still be quite similar? Or is it as simple as Beef en Croute the french name and Wellington the english name? o_O
Dynn Never used it and never had it with mustard. No mustard on my filet mignon, thank you! But really, these are just personal touches that each chef can add at their own discretion. Same with the spinach leaves. I prefer, and often use paté instead of duxelles in my Beef Wellington. It is a typical variation. I agree that there's little difference between the two dishes, in actuality. En Croute simply means "in a crust," and both are wrapped in a crust. However, I did notice that wrapping the filet in spinach leaves AND crepes AND pastry is a method employed in the original version of the classic Russian dish, Salmon Coulibiac. There are DOZENS of takes on that recipe, also. Worth noting is that the crepes have been universally dropped over the decades, as they have also been from Beef en Croute. They came to be regarded as an unnecessary over-kill. I tend to agree.
both this and a beef wellington can be made with a crepe layer, it's to prevent the puff pastry from becoming soggy. Beef Wellington would be the addition of pate coating the beef
Can someone explain me something, When you cook this and during the service you have to hit it up, doesn't it go overcooked? How can you properly serve it in a dinner a la carte restaurant? I was thinking to make it small but then doesn't look good, if i make for example 3 separate portions and cook them separately..how can i do?
I guess you can do it a la carte. like you said you'll just have to portion your beef/veal/venison fillets or whatever into steak size and then wrap it normally from there, could potentially look good. Try and see Also its just much better and practical to do this a large size like they did here because they're serving several people at once and you can just take slices off it. Hope that answered your question!
mise en place all the components then store them during service. portion size everything. a fillet of beef is a good portion size for one serving. Pop it in the oven or convection oven at a set temp and set time. 10-15mins it's done.

No they do all of this ahead of time, think about how busy restaurants like this are, if they had to do all of this to order they would burry themselves in a matter of minutes.
It doesn't have chestnuts traditionally. The differences are the boeuf en croute uses pancake and spinach, no parma ham, and it is served with different garnishes.
@@Khazandar A beef wellington can be made with crepe as well. Basically the Wellington is English and En Croute is French. They're just slightly different in terms of ingredients but fundamentally the same thing.
Cooked meat should be cut on a yellow chopping board, not a green one, that is for vegetables, thought they would have known that, failed a health inspector test....
It's an old dish, probably originating in France. The name "Beef Wellington" is the 19th century equivalent of "Freedom Fries", the english didn't like the idea of making something with a french name, so renamed it
If you do use them though, be VERY careful not to overwork it. I wasn't aggressive or anything, and still my mashed potatoes came out like wallpaper glue.
Emily used to hang around the kitchen shelling peas, picking beans, salads etc during the school holidays when she was 8-9 (when i was working in Gavroche to see). She was already watching her dad on the pass or butcher's block and being taught then. Very polite and pleasant kid.
Med rare I think is the above limit for max flavour, beyond that I find too much juice has been lost/flavour, but it's all about what you enjoy, took me a few years to like rare meat tbf
ah cold butter, never been able to get it right. From where I came from butter melted within 3 minutes after you got it out of the fridge so making short pastry is really, really a terrible job.
BunnaySango yes I do - exactly the reason why I never manage to make good pastry (well I guest I can work in my aircon room but I don't want to make a mess in my bed room)

What's the difference between this and Beef Wellington?
Those starting out might want to trim the detrempe to as close to a perfect rectangle as you can after the first roll out (trimming the minimum amount needed to make all the edges straight). It helps keep the paton from becoming wonky in turns 2-6. If corners become too rounded, a substantial % of the puff will not have the same number of layers as the portion in the center, say 75%, of the paton. Both their fathers were of course, giants.

There some minor differences, such as wellington usin mustard and no spinach. I'd say these are variations on the same dish.

GENIUS: Just Artwork x
I saw this in one of my mom's cookbooks. 30 years ago.
Personally prefer Beef Wellington. I can't stand puff pastry and pancakes together. I just feel like it spoils the taste of the beautiful meat.
both this and a beef wellington can be made with a crepe layer, it's to prevent the puff pastry from becoming soggy. Beef Wellington would be the addition of pate coating the beef
But you need them as otherwise the Wellington will be soggy and the consistency of baby food which is not what you want to eat.
Wow. Good luck to the scholars.
It's basically beef Wellington right?

Same dish, different names
