Episode 11: Beef Wellington [Discussion]

[ruprecht]

This was the first Food Mob ep that I've watched, and I really enjoyed it.

I made the Wellington tonight. I had to use a cheaper cut of beef, but it still turned out well. I added a bit of diced celery into the duxelle, which I think worked well.

Would have taken a photo, but we were too keen to eat it and it disappeared before I thought to get my camera!

One question: After I carved it, the cuts from the centre section soon leaked blood leaving one of the plates in a pink pond. Is this because I didn't let it rest long enough (I gave it 5 mins) or because it was a cheaper, leaner cut or something else?

Thanks!
