Ingredients
Method
-
300g Kobe / Wagyu Block (Fillet, Sirloin, Rib or Chuck Roll)
-
5 Slices Parma Ham
-
2 Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed if frozen
-
1 tbsp Olive Oil
-
1 tbsp Grated Garlic (Garlic Paste)
-
1 tsp Sea Salt
-
1 tsp Black Pepper
-
1 tsp Rosemary
-
1 Egg Yolk
-
Take the Wagyu beef out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Brush it with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper.
-
Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Sear the beef for 4 minutes in total, turning it regularly with tongs. Remove it to a tray, wrap it in foil, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
-
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
-
Remove the foil from the beef. Spread garlic and rosemary over it, and wrap it snugly with parma ham.
-
Roll out puff pastry into a rectangle that will cover the beef. Use cling film to wrap the pastry tightly around the beef, and then remove the cling film. Transfer the roll to a large baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal well. Pierce the puff pastry lightly with a fork.
-
Beat the egg yolk and brush the edges of the puff pastry, as well as the top and sides of the roll.
-
Bake until the pastry is golden and the centre registers 50°C for medium-rare, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
For a more traditional version, you can wrap chopped chestnut mushrooms around the beef before wrapping it in parma ham. Enjoy!
