Got a great deal on some Beef Tenderloin! It pays to make friends with the butcher... even if he works at Costco! He gave me a package of tenderloin butts marked at the bulk filet price, saving me about 2 bucks per pound...
Figured I'd like to try to make beef Wellington. For the "paste" I used baby portobellos, fresh garlic, yellow onion, and a poblano chile.
I chopped them up and put 'em in the food processor. After chopping I put the mix into a hot skillet to bring down the water content.
I trimmed the tenderloin for a nice uniform roast to be used for the beef wellington. The rest of the tenderloin I cut into 8 filet mignon steaks, vac sealed and frozen for future meals. Yum.
Next I brushed with olive oil and seasoned with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Time to sear to seal in those wonderful juices!!
All sides seared... still raw inside though, which is good!
On top of plastic wrap, I laid out some thin sliced pruschetto ham and spread half of the mushroom/garlic/onion/chile mix. Laid the roast on top.
Brushed on some spicy yellow mustard
Topped off the roast with the rest of the mushroom spread and covered with more pruschetto ham.
