Beef Wellington is a classic British dish consisting of tender beef fillet coated with pâté and duxelles, then encased in puff pastry and baked to golden perfection. The dish is said to have been named after the Duke of Wellington, although its exact origins are debated. Some credit the French influence of the dish, while others attribute it to the English culinary tradition. Renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver have popularized the dish, and it has become a staple in upscale restaurants worldwide. The key to a perfect Beef Wellington lies in achieving a perfectly cooked beef fillet and a flaky, golden-brown pastry crust. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in fine dining establishments and high-end steakhouses.
