- Lay a sheet of puff pastry down and score into a crisscross pattern.
- In the centre of the pastry sheet, place one spoonful of the pate and a spoonful of the duxelle.
- Place the partially frozen piece of beef fillet on top of the duxelle and top with silver beet.
- Fold the puff pastry to a nice tight parcel around the filling and place on the bench seal side down.
- Brush with egg yolk and place back in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Place the chilled wellington onto a sheet of baking paper and put on the hot baking tray in the oven.
- Bake until golden brown on the outside with an internal temp is 45°C.
