Introduction to Beef Wellington
Beef Wellington is a succulent delicacy with a flavour combination like no other – it is no surprise it is a culinary centrepiece on many dinner tables all over the UK. Although delicious, it is notoriously tricky to make, as getting all the different elements just right (from the pastry to the meat, to the duxelle) is the main task that makes it so difficult. So where should you buy it from?
Where can you get the right ingredients?
To get the best possible dish it is imperative to obtain the highest quality ingredients around. The best way to do that is to get fresh produce – mushrooms (your choice, some say portobello are best, others prefer a mix of shiitake and cremini), beef tenderloin from a butcher, and puff pastry make for a fantastic wellington.
Depending on your cooking abilities, the whole process takes around 3 hours to make. You can also spice up the recipe a bit and try out different flavour combinations yourself. You can mix up different flavours in the duxelle, try flavoured pate or switch it up between prosciutto or bacon.
What if you don’t want to cook it yourself?
If you don’t think of yourself as much of a cook, then you can always ask for help from a friend. Or even better, you can buy a premade beef in Wellington to save you all the hassle. One of the best places to buy beef wellington in the UK is from Parson’s Nose where you can order it online and have it conveniently delivered to your door. This will save you time having to worry about selecting and sourcing all the right ingredients (I mean, who has time to think about what mushroom to use anyway?). It means you can concentrate on other things, like cleaning your house and pretending to your guests it is always this clean!
Conclusion
Beef Wellington is an iconic British dish but is not the easiest to make.
If you want to save your time and stress in the kitchen, why not buy beef wellington and order online from a butcher like Parson’s Nose, who can deliver it straight to your home in time for that dinner party you are hosting? Your guests will be impressed, you will be relaxed, and can instead concentrate on what wine to buy to accompany it.
