Nothing can compare to a Beef Wellington.

I have just indulged spectacularly.

Now… all gone.

Spread the good word, for beef wellington is our savior. Amen.

Are you eating a beef wellington today? If not… repent!

(P.s. yes I’m eating off a tray in front of Jonathan Creek because I’m a shameful millennial.)

One of the restaurants we visit, has a shot on the estate Partridge Wellington on their Sunday menu and tbh it is not a touch on Beef wellington.

I’ve never had one, never been anywhere that serves them.

I must change this, the look delish! I waited years to try French onion soup and was blown away, I hope this is as nice.

Best thing about it is that it’s absurdly easy. You can’t really go wrong.

Went with this recipe this time:

Beef Wellington Recipe | Gordon Ramsay Recipes

Swapped out the eggs for milk on the pastry though, hate that ‘eggy pastry residue’ you sometimes get.

You could also try swapping out the Parma ham for another cured meat, as it can be quite overpowering. You can also add a splash of white wine to the mushrooms, which can be good

Im no chef, or even amateur adventurer but that does look straight forward.

Thanks!

Never had beef wellington, but planning to buy one for Xmas.

Appreciate I'm gonna get a thread ban, but sorry no, not for me.

So many nice things you can do with a good but if beef, put it in pastry really?

It's been a while, but damn they're rewarding!

Rob throws another grenade into a thread and sits back puffing on that fat Jas Sum Kral Red Knight Toro Triple Cigar :cry:

Yes. Roll it up in a pastry and mushrooms, cook it to perfection, put it into a blender and then inject it into your veins for pure ‘Waterloo’.

Barely any skilful cooking in it! But if you’re inferring that I’m a professional in buying tasty things, assembling them and eating them… then yes. Today’s feast continued my streak onwards from yesterday; I put some cheese and crusty bread together, with butter :cool:

Love a Beef Wellington. Does anyone else like to smear the beef in Colman's before the duxelles?
