Steps:
Preparation:
1. Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow it to warm up.
2. Wash the mushrooms and cut them into small pieces or slices, and chop the onion and garlic for later use.
3. Prepare Parma ham and puff pastry.
4. Preheat oven to 200°C.
Production process:
1. Sprinkle the surface of the steak evenly with black pepper and powdered salt and marinate for 5-10 minutes.
2. Add a small piece of butter to a saucepan and heat until melted. Add chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté over low heat until fragrant. Then add the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry until the mushrooms come out of the water. Pour in the broth, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low to allow the mushrooms to fully absorb the flavor of the broth. When the soup is thick, turn off the heat, add the chopped nuts and stir well, cool and put in a food processor to beat into mushroom sauce and set aside.
3. Brush the surface of the steak with a layer of English yellow mustard.
4. Take a sheet of plastic wrap and spread with slices of Parma ham. Spread a layer of mushroom sauce on the ham, place the steak with yellow mustard sauce, and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
5. Freeze the wrapped steak in the refrigerator for half an hour to set it.
6. Remove the steak and wrap it in another piece of puff pastry, making sure it is tight and seamless. Brush the dough with egg yolk liquid, bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 28 minutes (or adjust according to the actual situation of your own oven).
7. Bake until golden brown, remove the Wellington steak and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and enjoying.
