Foolproof Beef Wellingtonby Chef Genevieve LaMonaca

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef Tenderloin center cut canon (ask your butcher)
• 1-2 T Avocado Oil for searing
• 8oz shallots, minced
• 1 lb Mushrooms, cremini or button, minced
• 6 T butter
• 1 t thyme leaves
• 1 T minced Parsley
• Salt and Pepper TT
• Pastry Dough x 2:
• Bread Flour 1 1/2 cups plus 1 T
• Butter 3/4 cup (6oz) cubed
• Salt 1/2 t
• Ice cold water 1/4 cup

Directions:

• Slice off a 2 lb center cut canon from a beef tenderloin or ask your butcher.
• Pat dry, season heavily with salt and pepper. sear on all sides using a fat with a high smoke point (Avocado oil)
• Tip: Precooking your beef is the secret to preventing a soggy bottom crust and most of the moisture is removed prior. This will also ensure that your tenderloin is cooked perfect every time.
• Roast in a 150 oven to an internal temp of 115. Chill
• TIP: I like to measure my canon lengthwise side to side then the circumference by using butchers twine. This will help me determine the size I need to make my prosciutto bed and pastry sheet.

• Make your mushroom duxelles. Saute half a pound of minced shallots in 6 T butter then add 1 lb finely chopped mushrooms and thyme, saute, deglaze with sherry wine as necessary, cook until pan is dry, add minced parsley, season and set aside.
• Add flour and butter to a counter top mixer and using a paddle, combine on lowest speed until the butter is turned into crumbs and all the flour is Incorporated. Pour in your ice water and mix until combined. Place dough onto the counter and form into a ball then flatten/ wrap with plastic wrap and chill.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups bone broth (chicken or beef)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 1 cup cauliflower florets
• 1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• A squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness
• A pinch of turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits
• Peeled and chopped sweet potatoes for more fiber, which can help promote healthy gut bacteria
