The main ingredients for a Wellington steak are as follows:
1. Beef fillet: A prime cut of beef, typically sourced from the tenderloin. It is a lean and tender meat that forms the centerpiece of the Wellington steak.
2. Puff pastry: A light and flaky pastry that encases the beef fillet. It adds texture and enhances the presentation of the dish.
3. Mushrooms: Often sautéed and finely chopped, mushrooms are used to create a duxelles – a flavorful paste that is spread over the pastry before wrapping the beef.
4. Prosciutto or Parma ham: Thinly sliced prosciutto or Parma ham is used to wrap the beef fillet, providing additional flavor and moisture.
5. Egg wash: A beaten egg is used to brush the pastry before baking, creating a golden and glossy finish.
6. Salt and pepper: These seasonings are used to enhance the flavor of the beef fillet.
While there can be variations in the recipe, these are the primary ingredients typically used in the preparation of a Wellington steak.
惠灵顿牛排，或者叫惠灵顿牛扒、惠灵顿牛肉，英文名 Beef Wellington ，跟新西兰首都惠灵顿的名字是一模一样的。其实，“此惠灵顿”非“彼惠灵顿”，这牛排的名字来源和新西兰的首都 Wellington 一点关系都没有。如果用做法+配方的方式命名这道菜肴，那么“酥皮焗牛排”这个名字是最贴切的。
