Using a Pancake in a Beef Wellington

Beef Wellington recipe

the perfect showcase for a tender fillet of beef

Serves10

Preparation30 Mins

Cooking Time40 Mins

Beef Wellington is a show-stopping centrepiece for any occasion over the holiday season. The classic recipe has either mushrooms or pâté around the beef with a thin layer of pancakes to hold it all together. In this version, I have used a mushroom filling and replaced the pancakes with thinly sliced Parma ham. This adds a lovely flavour to the finished dish and a special little twist. I hope you enjoy it.

Chef tips

Choose a rich, full-bodied wine but don't spend more than £4-£5 as the difference in the quality of a more expensive bottle will be lost once you have boiled this and made the sauce.

A pinch of sugar may be required depending upon the wine.
