Beef Wellington

Beef Wellington is a baked steak dish of English origin, made from fillet steak and duxelles wrapped in shortcrust pastry or puff pastry. The dish may include wrapping the contents in prosciutto or dry-cured ham to retain moisture and prevent the pastry from becoming soggy. The precise origin of the name "Beef Wellington" is unclear, but it is believed to be named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. The dish is thought to have been influenced by the French filet de bœuf en croûte, and variations of the recipe include using pork tenderloin instead of beef and replacing the beef with beetroot.learn more on wikipedia
