Beef Wellington. It's the ultimate showstopping beef dish. Tender beef, salty Italian ham, rich mushrooms, and buttery puff pastry. It's little wonder that the Duke of Wellington, after whom Beef Wellington was named, loved this dish so much. Even more surprising is that he found a horse strong enough to carry him into battle after such a decadent feast.
Beef Wellington is the perfect dish for a special dinner. Whether you are cooking a spectacular dinner for friends and family or a cozy and romantic dinner for two, it's a dish that will create gasps of delight and sighs of appreciation. Our recipe uses ready-made puff pastry, but if you really want to impress, you may want to make your own.
We've chosen filet mignon for our take on Beef Wellington. It really is the best steak to choose from. Also known as tenderloin, châteaubriand, filet de bœuf, and fillet steak, it's one of the most tender cuts of steak cuts available. The Prime Meats filet mignon lends itself perfectly to this particular recipe. Deliciously tender, lean and juicy, if you are going to pull out all the stops, this is the steak to choose.
