Making Mini Beef Wellington

  Instructions Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the Beef: Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef cubes on all sides (about 1 minute per side). Set aside to cool slightly, then brush each cube lightly with Dijon mustard. Make the Mushroom Duxelles: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then sauté shallots until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add mushrooms and thyme, cooking until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the mixture is dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Assemble the Wellingtons: Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, cutting it into squares large enough to cover each beef piece. Spread a small amount of the mushroom mixture (duxelles) onto each pastry square. Place a seared beef cube in the center, then fold the pastry over, sealing the edges tightly.

Dessert Brioche

 

Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast
    In a small bowl, mix the warm milk and a teaspoon of sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over it, stir gently, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. Make the Dough
    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and eggs. Mix until combined.

  3. Add Butter
    Gradually add the softened butter cubes to the dough while mixing on low speed (if using a mixer). Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will be sticky but workable.

  4. First Rise
    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, until it doubles in size.

  5. Shape the Brioche
    On a floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle. If adding filling, brush with melted butter and sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough. Roll it up tightly and cut it into desired shapes (rolls, twists, or leave as a loaf).

  6. Second Rise
    Place the shaped dough in a greased baking pan or loaf tin, cover, and let it rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.

  7. Bake
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the dough with the beaten egg for a shiny finish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

  8. Cool and Serve
    Allow the brioche to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
