- Pour in the stock and reduce until syrupy, season.
- For the mushrooms- chop really finely.
- Heat up the butter in a pan and throw the mushrooms in as soon as you see foam and season with salt.
- Fry until golden brown and leave in a bowl to cool.
- For the potatoes: parboil in a seasoned water, take out of water and pop into the preheated oven.
- To assemble the beef wellington: cut the pastry to fit the fillet, with enough overlap to wrap the beef.
- Place the beef on a chopping board and top with the mushroom mix.
- Slice the pate and place on top of the mushrooms.
- Move the beef on top of the puff pastry and wrap.
