Description:
Beef Wellington is a classic British dish that consists of a tender beef fillet (usually coated with a layer of mushroom duxelles and sometimes wrapped in Parma ham), all encased in puff pastry. The pastry-wrapped beef is baked to perfection, creating a deliciously crispy and golden exterior while keeping the meat moist and flavorful. It is often served with a rich mushroom sauce or a red wine reduction, making it a luxurious and savory culinary delight, often reserved for special occasions.

Unwrap the beef from the cling film and place it in the center of the pastry.
Fold the pastry over the beef, seal the edges, and trim any excess.
Brush with beaten egg yolk.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place the Wellington on a baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes for medium-rare.
