What is beef Wellington?<\/h2>\n

Wellington beef is an iconic English dish in which beef tenderloin is coated in pat\u00e9 and duxelles (a minced mushroom paste) then wrapped in puff pastry and baked. The trick is to cook it so that the outside is deep golden brown but the meat inside is still medium-rare.<\/p>\n

This dish was likely named for Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington, in celebration of his victory at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Over time, it made its way to the United States and beyond. It later became well known to the general public by popular chef personalities like Julia Child and Gordon Ramsay.<\/p>\n
