Beef Wellington is a cut of tenderloin, spread with a covering or mushrooms, chicken and other fillings, then wrapped and baked in a puff pastry.
Different sizes of fillet may be used based on servings needed. For a large party, the entire loin can be wrapped, baked, then sliced. For smaller servings, the loin can be sliced into medium-sized filets and wrapped individually.
