Beef wellington

THE CHALLENGING ONE

"When it comes to luxurious mains, beef welly is an all-time classic. It’s not what you’d cook on a Wednesday night, though. Even with time on your hands it’s tricky to get just right, with a crisp golden pastry crust around a tender, still-pink beef fillet. I’ve spent a lot of time fine-tuning this recipe (and adding my own stamp) so you can make it with confidence – and avoid costly mistakes." LOTTIE COVELL, DEPUTY FOOD EDITOR
