Beef Wellington is a famous British New Year's dish. Prepared using the technology of the eternal competitors of the English - the French. There is a legend according to which the classic French meat in dough, or filet de boeuf en croûte, was rethought by the cook of the victor of the Battle of Waterloo Arthur Wesley (by the way, an Irishman, but this is irrelevant), who later became the first Duke of Wellington. It is more logical to assume that this dish was simply named in honor of the national hero , along with several hundred streets in different cities of Great Britain and even an entire city - the capital of New Zealand, Wellington itself. If the history of beef Wellington is confusing, the recipe is not. To cook beef Wellington , you will need time and patience, but the result is worth it.
