Stuck at home with my husband away, just me and two teenagers for Christmas.
Teenage son casually announces he “really wants Beef Wellington”.
Against my better judgement (and after that news story earlier this year), I decided to give it a go for the first time.
Pastry mostly behaved, beef came out medium-rare, kitchen survived, and everyone who ate it is alive and well (so far).
Genuinely one of the most stressful things I’ve cooked, but cutting into it and seeing pink instead of grey was a huge relief. Teenagers inhaled it, which I’m taking as a win.
Open to any Wellington wisdom for next time.

Looks delicious but your leaves kind of remind me of bugs
Fantastic work! Cooked three two nights ago and had some issues with getting it to actually cut in a clean slice like yours. Anyone know why? Curious if my knife just was not sharp enough. Was using a Victoronix chef knife.
That roast turned out lovely. Merry Christmas!
Sure looks yummy! 👍
I cooked my first one today!
How do you keep the bottom from being soggy? I cooked the water out of the mushrooms for over an hour until they were starting to stick to the bottom on the pan. I even used a wire rack.
Really good looking fancy corndog 🙂
Perfect cook!
