[Food] Beef Wellington

[BensGrandad]

Anybody made it using other steak than fillet. If so what was the result?

Not really as I see that as a formality but we still need to be about ourselves.

We do dinner for youngest son and his children a couple of times a week and was considering doing that with Dauphinoise Potatoes one day for them.

All meat is murder BG, stick with Quorn or Linda McCartney and you'll never go wrong. #Good Times

Don’t even think about it!

I have read a number of recipes saying it is possible and good making individual ones, but then they would say that.

You can get two from Lidl for about £9 and they're actually very good.

Sounds fantastic, unfortunately it’s got to be fillet in my opinion, wrapped in mushroom pate and a red onion chutney, loving the dauphinois spuds option!!

From my limited experience of making it, I tend to find one big bit of Fillet allows a medium rare end and a rare middle when sliced. Also, individuals can be a little pastry heavy.

Having said that, I'm just making an individual one for me as I type

Its not really a wellington without fillet. Cant think of another cut that it would work with

Pork loin fillet. Result, pork wellington

If you've got an old Arctic Roll in the freezer....Ice Cream Wellington.

I have some boots on and it's been muddy today. Doc Martins

Allrecipes .co.uk have many options but wondered if anybody had tried it with rump or beef medallions as they suggest and of course I shall use the mushroom duxelle .as per James Martin.

I love Beef Wellington but would use fillet. With mushroom pate.

Biggest problem is avoiding a soggy bottom.

Disappointed this isn’t a thread about Stampede Wrestling’s Biff/Beef Wellington

I think tomorrow's game is one of the very few this season that we can watch whilst still feeling relatively relaxed. Win lose or draw it won't be the end of the world. As for next Saturday however, l'm feeling tense already.
