Do you use a crepe inside the Puff Paste to prevent the beef from drying out?

nah, it's good
beef
season
dijon mustard
parma ham
duxelle
crepe (also stops the juice from the duxelle steaming and making the pastry soggy)
pastry
serve the foie gras on the side - tastes so much better if it is seared as well rather than just stewed with the cooking juices. and you can have as much or as little as you like.

look at the grey dried out beef around the edge, and the fat isn't even rendered in that yet! Imagine how that's gonna taste once it's been cooked long enough to render the fat! The beef hasn't even been sealed!
That'd taste worse than one of Ghandi's thongs!

me - I have never had one with a crepe inside the pastry...sounds ick.

and look at the shrinkage, already! what's the good of all that empty space?
and look how soggy the inside of the pastry is already.
The steak is supposed to be moist and juicy, not the pastry.

now look at how beautiful and juicy this looks - it just glistens and doesn't look like a slab of raw steak or a piece of beef jerky

Ask Harrod's
I eat them, I don't cook them.
What is that under the pastry in your pic.. a slimey crepe?

i think that must be an old picture.
I cannot believe that any chef would present a raw slab of meat.
