Beef Wellington is a delicious dish made with several key ingredients! 🥩✨ The star of the dish is a tender cut of beef, usually a filet mignon, which is seared to perfection. 🔥 Then, it’s coated with a layer of duxelles, a finely chopped mixture of mushrooms, shallots, and herbs sautéed in butter. 🍄🧄🌿 To add richness, a layer of prosciutto is often wrapped around the beef, enhancing the flavors. 🍖

The entire ensemble is then encased in puff pastry, which becomes golden and flaky when baked. 🥐✨ Before baking, the pastry is sometimes brushed with an egg wash for that beautiful shine. 🥚🍽️ Finally, it’s served with a flavorful sauce, often made from the pan drippings, to complement the dish. 🍷🍴 Each bite of Beef Wellington is a delightful blend of textures and flavors! 🎉
 
I love how it’s a classic for special occasions! I think mastering it takes practice, though, but it’s so worth it for the wow factor! 🎉👩‍🍳
