We are keeping the wellington on the menu for this season. What makes our wellington different?
Well a couple of years ago we wanted to not only show the prime cut as the hero, but also showcase the secondary, at the time we making a sirloin en croute, using sirloin and wrapping it in all the trimmings, but what made it special was the pulled braised tail and short-rib that we worked in around the sirloin. It gave the whole dish more depth and more savouriness. So we continued to di this with our wellington, half is done with mushroom duxelle and the other half with braise. In addition we wanted to use black forest ham instead of bacon. This allowed the less moisture being released and the wellington backing a lot dryer.
We still serve it with all the trimmings including our famous béarnaise sauce.
