Took me a bit longer than expected, but the results were worth it! Can’t believe I made a fancy dish like this!
Yum. But why is it called Wellington? Is it from a place or something? 🤔
Absolutely loved this recipe! The beef came out so tender and juicy. Will make again for sure!
I just used leftover steak and it worked fine. Not sure if that’s the point but it was delicious!
My puff pastry turned out soggy! What did I do wrong? I followed the steps.
Too complicated for me, I’ll just stick to my stir-fry. 😩
Waste of time, took forever to cook and barely any flavor. Should have just grilled the meat.
So happy I tried this! It blew my family away at dinner. Even my picky brother loved it! 🎉
I don’t get why people make this. It’s just an expensive way to make beef when you could just roast it. 🤷♂️
Seems fancy for not much gain. I think just roasting would taste better. 🙄
But Beef Wellington is a classic! It’s all about presentation and flavor. Just roasting isn’t the same!
