Beef Wellington.

I made Beef Wellington as a birthday gift. The Wellington recipies are a bit more fussy than I usually go for. None the less, it turned out well and I will make it again.

Beef Wellington is a recipie that can be tweaked in many ways. At it's most simple, it is a tenderloin roast, covered with pate and fried mushrooms and onions, wrapped with pastry and then baked.

Expensive version-- use a very high quality cut of meat. The pate should be foie gras. Use truffels for the mushrooms. Make the pastry yourself.

Cheap version-- use a lower quality roast. Instead of pate use minced or chopped chicken gizzards and chicken breast. Use frozen pre-made puff pastry.
