i am making beef wellington, does it matter what cut of beef i use?

Answer 1

Probably not, but if you want to be able to chew and swallow it, you may want to get a tender cut like prime rib or tenderloin roast....

Answer 2

Well it certainly has to be a very tender cut of beef. I'm not sure, but I think fillet beef is generally used.
Edit; I don't think many of you who answered before me fully comprehend what beef Wellington is! It's a tender fillet of beef, browned then rolled in a pastry & baked.It's covered other things before putting into the pastry, some kind of paste/pate also mushrooms or I guessthe flavours of your choice.

Answer 3

I make beef wellington in a crockpot.

Generally I use a thin slice of flank steak. I roll it up and use toothpicks to keep it rolled.
Using the flank, I slow cook it in the mushroom sauce for about three hours. The pate' and sauce really blend together well.

I don't put the bread coating around it. In the crockpot it just doesn't work.

Answer 4

I've used all kinds of cuts......even went to the deli and bought a good italian roast beef - had the deli person slice it a bit thicker and then cut it into strips.....was one of the best beef wellington recipes I ever made.

Answer 5

Definitely fillet of beef. It has to be no more than medium rare and ideally less than that and MUST be tender. Do you use black truffles, too?

Answer 6
