How to Make Phena's Beef Delight A1

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rub beef with 2 tablespoons softened butter and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise.
  3. Place beef in a medium-sized baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Flip the beef, add 1/2 packet of onion soup mix, and bake for another 15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced).
  7. Cook until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Remove from heat and set aside.
  9. Remove beef from oven; reserve pan juices.
  10. Let beef cool slightly on a plate.
  11. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons softened butter, 4 ounces pate, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons A1 sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  12. Mix until smooth and spreadable.
  13. Set oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
  14. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry (14.1 oz). Place cooled beef on the pastry. Spread the pate mixture evenly over the beef.
  15. Top with a second sheet of puff pastry (14.1 oz). Pinch the edges to seal completely.
  16. Cut a few slits on top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
  17. Brush the pastry with 1 egg yolk (beaten).
  18. Bake for 20 minutes at 450°F (230°C), then reduce temperature to 425°F (220°C).
  19. Continue baking for 45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the beef is cooked through.
  20. While the beef is baking, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the reserved beef juices, 1 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons sherry, the remaining onion soup mix, and 1 tablespoon A1 sauce.
  21. Bring to a rapid boil, stirring constantly until the mixture reduces and thickens.
  22. Remove from heat and strain into a bowl.
  23. Slice the beef wellington and serve, drizzling the reduced sauce over each slice.
