make a beef wellington
Don't worry fam I've already made all the appropriate and inappropriate dick jokes
Update: TRIMMED AND READY

This is called the cannon

The rest will be cut into steaks or medallions

@NickLowary the one recipe that will take the fillet from upper-middle class straight to royalty
Tied with butcher's twine, seasoned and ready for some sous vide action!
Prepping the mushroom duxell as I wait

Approx 1 lb mushrooms, and 4 shallots should work for this recipe - bc my little brother is helping me, and he hates mushrooms

So part of the wellington will be duxell-less 😬😬😬
THIS is a magic secret I've discovered

This is dry-aged fat

Dry aging adds a wonderful nutty/mushroom-y flavor to beef

And a lot of that flavor gets captured in the fat

Strip steak fat cap rendered = dry aged tallow GREAT for seating steaks...

or sautéing mushroom & shallot
Ooooooooooo
Wooooahhhhh
My duxell-a

M-m-m-myyyy
Ay
Ay
AY
AY
WOOO

M-m-my duxell-a!

Now off to the fridge with you!

Uncovered, so it continues to dry out and lose moisture
Four hours later...
LET THE SEARING COMMENSE

I've saved the juices from the sous vide. That's gonna make a WONDERFUL sauce to go with the wellington
"I BET THEY'RE 8BTERWZTED ABOUT YOUR MEAT IN THE FREEZER" - little brother

Fuck u bro

I do what I want
Wow, spelling, how does it work
While the steak rests, time for the sauce

Poured in all those lovely sous vide juices, and a glassful of red wine along with the rosemary from the sous vide

😬😬 I also added in Asian inspired basalmic vinegar too

WAS IT ALL A MISTAKE?

We'll find out soon...
Update: added some crushed garlic too

FUCK

I forgot to roast it

Ah well

Kitchen smells like

PS @Not_Naked_Now thanks for the tip about the wooden spatula

Whole grain Dijon mustard
READY FOR LAYERING

Duxell to one side in honor of my little brother who *hates* mushrooms
Ready for the oven

You ugly bastard of a child

I hope you taste better than you look
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL
Edit: back in the oven for a few b/c I made the dough too thick at the ends and it's still raw
