well if you use the earliest known references only three items the beef, pastry and duxelle are constant, but other ingredients are present, chicken stuffing in one, Foie gras in another etc.

the dish appears in america and the continent before any english recipes are recorded so their is no definative traditional recipe tbf


Doesn't really matter what is added as long as the 3 specific items are present

I had no idea about the American connection. Link below supplies some more information.

Beef Wellington | Description, Origin, Fine Dining, & Pastry

beef Wellington, beef fillet coated in chopped mushrooms and liver pâté and baked inside a puff pastry shell. Considerable confusion surrounds the origin of beef Wellington. One version that seems more legend than fact attributes it to a cook for the famed duke of Wellington (Arthur Wellesley)...

Anyway, some bloke approached me in the pub last night and offered to sell me eight legs of venison for £200. I was tempted but thought it was too dear?

Just ordered the Christmas dinner stuff for delivery off Ocado with a £25 off £80 voucher.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

classic recipes call for a extra binding before wrapped in pastry, some use crapenette or Streaky bacon, others use savoy cabbage

they absorb the moisture of the duxelle and meat

Get you !!!! Bluemoons very own Master Chef semi finalist.......;)

We always order our Christmas food from M & S. It is more expensive but the quality is also very good in my experience, so just about worth the extra cost.

Still considerably cheaper than eating out over the Christmas period as there are usually quite a lot of us.
