Beef Wellington

Hiya,

About to hold my first dinner party, and I've bought a delicious 2.5kg silverside cut of beef. It says it'll feed 14-15 people (I've got 10 hungry boys to feed) and I've found Delia's receipe - only that's for 800g and I'm not quite sure how much longer I should cook it for?

Thanks for any help!  smile

Re: Beef Wellington

Hi Alikit,

Well theres 2 choices really:

the first and my favourite is to make individual pieces of about 180/200 grs. and that takes about 15 mins in the oven.
If you want to cook the whole piece then the best way is to check the colour of the puff pastry and if you want the meat rare, medium or well done. Evidently the darker it gets the more "well done" it gets...

The advantage of making it in separate pieces is that if someone prefers the meat well done you can always cook it a bit longer. In a whole piece everyone s gotta like it rare or well done, there are no choices... shocked

Good luck thumbsup

we had a thread about this some time ago. Have a look I made the one with pancakes in it and it was lush.

Re: Beef Wellington

Silverside needs long slow cooking, better for a pot roast.  You need fillet of beef for Beef Wellington.

Re: Beef Wellington

i agree with liz...silverside would be too tough for a beef wellington

Re: Beef Wellington

I third that--you need a tender cut for Wellington.
