Tips & Tricks

For the perfect sides to the Beef Wellington stir a dollop of Pams Finest Mascarpone and Black Truffle cream sauce into a bowl of piping hot Pams Milk and Butter Frozen Mash. For some delicious greens, sauté Pams Fresh Spinach Leaves in a slither of butter until wilted and season with a generous pinch of nutmeg.
For a medium-rare finish leave meat in the freezer for an extra 25 minutes. Allow time for the Beef Wellington to rest after cooking to ensure the meat will be perfectly tender.

Ingredients

1 packet Pams Prime Beef Eye Fillet
1 packet Pams Finest Prosciutto Crudo
4 sheets Pams Flaky Puff Pastry
1 Pams Free Range Egg, whisked

Method

Pat the eye fillets dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a small amount of oil in a very hot frying pan, sear the meat, turning regularly with tongs to ensure it's well-browned all over. Remove from heat.
Wrap two pieces of prosciutto around each fillet, then tightly wrap with cling film and twist up the sides. Place in freezer for 20 minutes to chill.
Take the fillets from the freezer and place each one on a sheet of pastry, place another sheet directly on top, sealing the edges. Neatly trim off excess pastry leaving a small fringe. Crimp down sides with a fork and brush with egg.
Bake at 225C in a preheated oven ?for 10-12 minutes until pastry is golden.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving with your favourite side dishes.
