The Beef Wellington is so complicated that I am breaking it down into its component parts. First, I used some oxtails and a beef shank to make the beef broth. The oxtails made a lovely, very rich broth. I forgot to simmer it uncovered, so I will probably need to reduce it a bit more to make the final sauce. Still it was very tasty and I have enough left for some vegetable-beef soup too!
Tomorrow, puff pastry...
Recipe Used: Beef Broth

Pielove writes: I agree about feeling challenged-- this Wellington is the most complicated (and expensive!) thing I have ever made. I'm trying to break it down to its component parts, do as much as possible in advance, and keep in mind that it really is just a roast beef. Ha, should we make the croq for dessert after the Wellington?
I got the new issue today too-- it looks great (but a lot of food!).
