Pairing Beef Wellington with the RSRV Blanc de Noirs Vintage

45 minutes

This classic English meat en croute dish is ideally accompanied by the RSRV Blanc de Noirs cuvée. On the one hand, the champagne calls for red meat through its vegetal notes of undergrowth, and on the other, the beef Wellington must be accompanied by a cuvée with powerful flavors, robust bubbles and a solid structure. This alliance is of an interesting roundness, the notes of mushroom swirl with those of fern and a noble vegetal.

IngrEdients

For 4 people

  • 600-750g beef fillet in very regular pieces, not too thick.
  • 250g Paris mushrooms
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Grape seed oil
  • A little flour
  • Salt and pepper flower
  • 12 thin slices of Ardèche ham
  • 2 rolled sheets of puff pastry
  • 3 egg yolks
PrEparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C

2. Cut the mushrooms into fine brunoise. Season the beef fillet with salt and pepper.

3. In a casserole dish, heat the oil and sear the sides of the meat until they are golden and crispy. Then set aside in the refrigerator. Then add the mushrooms, garlic cloves and butter, salt and pepper to the same pan. Set aside the mushrooms in the refrigerator.

4. Place plastic wrap on the work surface and lay the slices of ham flat so that they can cover the beef fillet.

5. Place the mushroom duxelle on the ham and place the beef fillet on the mushrooms. Roll the ham around the fillet, making sure to tighten it well.

6. Roll the very cold puff pastry by measuring the size of the beef fillet and cut off the excess parts by 3-4cm.

7. Unroll the plastic wrap and place the beef on the puff pastry. Brush lightly with the egg yolks.

8. Cover with the second sheet of puff pastry and close well without keeping the air inside. Trim the edges to finish with a margin of 3-4cm outside the beef. Brush the entire outside with the egg yolk and decorate with the leftover pastry.

9. Bake for about 30 minutes, the dough should be golden brown and crispy.
