- 4 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten, to glaze
- 400 g of puff pastry
- 200 g of chestnut mushrooms, wiped and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp of sunflower oil
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add the shallots and mushrooms. Cook over a gentle heat until softened then add the chestnuts. Season and stir then blitz in a food processor until almost smooth.Step 2
Season and oil the steaks. Seal them in a hot pan for 1 minute each side. Allow to cool.Step 3
Divide the pastry into 4 and roll out to a square large enough to enclose a steak. Place a steak on each square of pastry then spoon chestnut mix on top of each steak.Step 4
Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg then fold the pastry over the steak. Trim the edges as needed and press down with a fork to seal. Re-roll any leftover pastry and cut out leaves to decorate.Step 5
Lift onto a baking tray, brush the Wellingtons with the remaining egg and bake for 25 minutes until golden and piping hot all the way through.
