Beef wellington

[mckenzie]

I fancy making this tonight and my go to is usually the BBC good food website. Their recipe calls for pancetta though and DH doesn’t like pancetta. Can anybody recommend a recipe please?
TIA

I don’t really use a recipe but this comes close.

I do use a layer of pancakes underneath the pastry to hold pate or duxelles in close to the beef and prevent pastry staining.

We us that recipe too Cherry but don't add pancakes

Thank you very much. I’ll try it without the pancakes today and see how I get on. I’ve heard that it is a tough dish to crack. It’s only the in-laws coming for dinner
