Beef Wellington Ramsay Style

Ingredients

• 600 g filet of beef

• salt and pepper
• 1 egg

Directions

1. 1

   Season your fillet steak with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   In a skillet fry the fillet. Make sure you lock it so that all the sides are cooked. Do not over cook because it will soon go into the oven - make sure it is cooked rare.

   Cut up mushrooms and put in blender.

5. 5

   Season.

6. 6

   Blend until fine but not yet into a paste.

7. 7

   Take mushrooms out of blender - be sure to try and get rid of the excess water that the mushrooms let out.

8. 8

   Put mushrooms straight into a pan - no butter or oil. Cook for 3 minutes.

9. 9

   Lay down plastic wrap.

13. 13

14. 14

    Preheat oven to 200°C.

15. 15

    Fold sides up carefully and tuck in (just as though you are wrapping a present).
