Venison Wellington Dish

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Venison Wellington Dish.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a large skillet and melt a tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

3. Step 3

   Once the butter is bubbling, add the venison backstrap and let it sear for about 2 minutes on each side until it develops a beautiful brown crust.

4. Step 4

   Once perfectly browned, remove the venison from the skillet and set it aside to rest.

5. Step 5

   In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter, then toss in sliced mushrooms, diced onion, minced garlic, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.

6. Step 6

   Sauté this delightful mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soften and the flavors to meld together.

7. Step 7

   Once done, take it off the heat and let it cool for a moment.

8. Step 8

   On a clean cutting board, mix together ground thyme, salt, and pepper.

9. Step 9

   Roll the seared venison in this fragrant herb blend until it’s well coated.

10. Step 10

    Now, wrap each piece of venison in bacon, making sure it’s completely covered for that extra layer of flavor.

11. Step 11

    Next, unfold a sheet of puff pastry and place one of the bacon-wrapped backstraps right in the center.

12. Step 12

    Gently fold the pastry over the meat and pinch the edges to seal it in.

13. Step 13

    Repeat this process with the second backstrap and the remaining pastry.

14. Step 14

    Place both of your beautifully wrapped Wellingtons in an ungreased baking dish, ready for the oven.

15. Step 15

    In a small bowl, whisk together an egg yolk and a splash of water to create a lovely glaze.

16. Step 16

    Brush this mixture over the tops of the pastry to achieve that golden, flaky finish.

17. Step 17

    Bake your creations in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 425°F (220°C) and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is irresistibly golden brown.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await this delicious dish!.
