Stuck at home with my husband away, just me and two teenagers for Christmas.
Teenage son casually announces he “really wants Beef Wellington”.

Against my better judgement (and after that news story earlier this year), I decided to give it a go for the first time.

Pastry mostly behaved, beef came out medium-rare-ish (I think?), kitchen survived, and everyone who ate it is alive and well (so far).

Genuinely one of the most stressful things I’ve cooked, but cutting into it and seeing pink instead of grey was a huge relief. Teenagers inhaled it, which I’m taking as a win.

Open to any Wellington wisdom for next time.

    That looks incredible, especially for your first time. I’m a chef and this is one dish I’ve always wanted to tackle. Would you say it’s worth the effort to make at home?
