I was a little sceptical of this idea at first because I haven't been super impressed with the quality of minced beef in place of a cut of cow, but I thought I'd try it anyway. Besides, I always wondered what Beef Wellington was like so I figured this was my opportunity.
First off, I did not have all the vegetables the recipe asked for. I only added onion, carrot, and potato with some basil and just a bit of garlic powder. I did everything else just as directed, even the egg wash which I was only able to apply via fingertips since I don't have a brush as of yet.
Good lord, was this meal delicious! I couldn't get over how good it was! It's very savoury and a little on the heavier side, but if you pair it with something light (I did a risotto) it works out well. I also made a simple sherry-balsamic reduction with just a little sugar that paired well with it and brought some acidity to the plate.
If you ever find yourself with some spare puff pastry and a little minced beef, please make this! Your neighbours will even love you for the smell!
