Show-Stopping Beef Wellington
The ultimate beef Wellington can seem difficult to make, but each step is actually pretty simple. After cooking the seasoned beef, brush it with mustard and store in the fridge. Then fry up some chopped mushrooms and shallots in butter before wrapping the beef in prosciutto and the mushroom mixture. All that’s left is unraveling some store-bought puff pastry and making a beautiful, woven, floral design before baking. It’s hard to cut into this masterpiece, but the taste is worth it!
