Beef Wellington

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

Yum, that was my favourite meal out in the late 1980's. Beef, mushrooms, pate, pastry?

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

LOL, they're savoury crepes. Not the ones you have with ice cream.

Beef Wellington was this first!

What is Puff Paste?

[*crikey*mate*]

first what?

and see how grey and overcooked the edges of the steak are?

If you use a crepe, it prevents that.

the stuff around the outside that goes golden brown if you egg wash it and don't burn it during cooking.

Beef Wellington is a preparation of filet steak coated with pâté (often pâté de foie gras) and duxelles, which is then wrapped in puff pastry and baked.

A crepe would be yuk? With a piece of steak in it?
