Beef Wellington, Animal Style (Fancy In-N-Out Burger)
by Erik of Fancy Fast Food, with support from Chrissy M. and Kelly B.

Ingredients:

3 In-N-Out Hamburgers, Animal Style

1 order of French Fries

1 cup of fountain water

salt and pepper packets

a sprig of organic thyme (for garnish and a touch of irony)

Ordering a burger “Animal Style” may not be such a secret, but psst… did you know you can make Beef Wellington out of In-N-Out Burger items? First, take the buns from the three burgers, scrape off all the Animal sauces and toppings, and put them in a food processor. Add a litle bit of water and blend until it becomes a smooth, doughy mush. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture onto a large non-stick baking sheet; spread it evenly on the entire sheet. Then put it in a pre-heated oven at 400°F for 5-10 minutes, depending on how moist it is. You’ll know it’s done when it starts to develop a light, flaky crust.

Meanwhile, take all your Animal Style toppings (the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, sauce, and onions), plus a little salt and pepper to taste, and chop them all together into a chunky, delicious spread. When the flaky crust is done, let it cool for a bit so it’s easy to lift off the pan with a spatula. (Don’t take the crust off the pan yet; just test it.) Use a rubber spatula to evenly distribute a layer of the Animal Style Spread over the crust.

Cut the burger patties into smaller chunks and put them in a food processor. Blend until it’s a consistent ground beef. Using your hands, mold the beef into a small meatloaf in the shape of a nice cut of beef tenderloin, and place it in the center of the baking sheet. Then carefully wrap the loaf with the crust by folding over all sides until it’s completely covered.

Finally, the plating: slice the crusted loaf into serving portions; use two per plate. Mash some potatoes by blending fries in a food processor with a little water, and serve those on the side. Garnish with an ironic sprig of thyme. Tada! Beef Wellington, Animal Style! We’ll keep the secret, if you can…
