What’s so magical about this dish? Steak Wellington?

Although the name contains the word "Wellington", it has nothing to do with Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, because except for steak, this method of wrapping the main ingredients in puff pastry is called "Wellington".

When making steak Wellington, do you have to use filet?

Not necessarily, using filet is just a traditional way of making Wellington steak, because filet is the rarest, softest and least fat part of the cow.

Then it will be very delicious with the puff pastry on the outside.

Therefore, people generally choose filet to make it in order to pursue a high-end gourmet taste.

However, you can also use meat from other parts to make it, there are no hard and fast requirements for this!

Why is filet so tender?

Our common filet mignon is actually the tenderloin of cattle. The tenderloin is a cone-shaped one, which can be large or small.

So it’s normal for us to see filet mignon in different sizes.

Moreover, the filet itself is relatively tender, no matter how mature it is, it is very tender, which is very suitable for children to eat.

But why is this part so tender?

This is caused by the cow's lack of exercise and lack of connective tissue, so the muscle fibers will be very loose, and the meat may be torn apart with just a light tear with your hands.

So many people who don’t understand beef think filet is synthetic meat.

How to cook filet to make it delicious?

Fillet is the most tender meat in the cow. How to cook it depends on your personal taste. Because the meat is tender, you don’t need to add water to cook it. Just cook it directly.

The reason for medium-rare to medium-rare is that it can preserve the most nutrients in the meat, but it is not recommended for novices to try. Uneven heating of the meat will cause it to be undercooked and it is easy to eat parasites.

The stomachs of most Chinese people cannot tolerate medium-cooked meat, so it is still recommended to cook it well-cooked. It will be less nutritious and just eat a few more pieces.
