my wife and I celebrate our 18th anniversary this Sunday. But I am traveling for work that day so I decided to do it up for dinner tonight and whip up some gluten free puff pastry and make Beef Wellington.
I made a gluten free puff pastry for the wife, bought shiitake, baby portobellos and criminis for the duxelles. I made up the duxelles, pastry dough and seared a great looking tenderloin. It was definitely a process to get done but never have making this I was determined to make up the best 18th anniversary dinner to go with a wonderful super Tuscan red wine I picked up to accompany dinner.
After making the duxelles, I started on the red wine reduction sauce and kept moving forward with the beef and pastry. Thrownin some carrots cia sous vide and we were on point! After a 5 hour process, which I really shortened by 24 hours, we celebrated dinner with our 17 yo daughter and 13yo son and enjoyed probably the best meal I have prepared! The flavor from the beef, duxelles and red wine sauce accompanied with the pastry dough was amazing!
So much umami coming from the mushrooms, and then everything else made for a wonderful celebration!
If uou havent tried Beef Wellington, give it a go. You will not be disappointed!
