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

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
