Rachael Ray you rock! My husband claims it was the best meal I have ever cooked him! Now I know what to cook when I want a new purse! Delicious and what a presentation.

This is a wonderful recipe. But I did want to let everyone know that they should cook the steaks to the desired degree of doneness before wrapping them in the pastry. I cooked mine to medium-rare, figuring the 12 minute bake time would finish cooking my husband's to medium-well, but it didn't. So, I had to nuke his steak - yuk! Just FYI. I used NY strip steaks, about 1" thick and cut them in half to make 4 - 4 ounce protions. Also, don't forget to cut the vent in the pastry, because I did, and although the pastry browned quite nicely, it was very underdone. Lesson learned. I used Pepperidge Farm puff pastry b/c that's the only brand the store had. I baked the packets in a commercial quality Cadco tabletop convection oven. I definitely will make this again. Very elegant dish. Just issues with the cook! LOL

I cooked the individual "wellies" for our new year's celebration. This recipe is embarassingly EASY! But it won my husband's, "this is the best thing you've ever made" award! I couldn't find water cress, so simply substituted arugula, which worked fine. So as not to have too rare of a steak, I did sear it a little longer than the recipe called for and I also left it in the oven for about 14 minutes instead of 12 so the pastry could get cooked through. Not sure if my sheets of puff pastry were smaller than usual, but I could only get 2 wraps per sheet instead of the 4. This is an AWESOME recipe, highly recommend it for you and we will be doing it again soon!

This was SUCH an easy (and elegant! Christmas Eve dinner!!! I made the beef wellingtons only, and none of the sides. I even made them ahead, cooked them as directed, and froze them. I thawed them, then reheated them gently, and they came right back to life. Since not everyone in my family enjoys beef, I also made chicken "wellies" with Granny Smith apples and brie cheese. Those turned out equally well, and everyone raved about them.

I made this for my boyfriend's birthday and what a great beef wellington recipe! I did not make the rest of the dishes but instead served it with a green salad and whole wheat rolls. The meat I used was fillet mignon wrapped in bacon. Not a big fan of bacon myself, I will leave it out next time. This is a great base for beef wellington however you wish to make it.

I fixed this last night. I was entertaining 3 of my long-time gal friends. They were very impressed. I was amazed how easy this was and how good it tasted. I followed the suggestion of including some chopped bacon.

This is a fabulous little dinner! It was actually quite easy to prepare, smelled great coming out of the oven, beautiful on the plate and pleasing to the palate. Great flavor and texture for the beef! It was a perfect medium well with the timing specified. I will be making this next time we have company for dinner!

I saw this recipe on RR and HAD to try it. My husband and I loved it! The only problem was, Rachael didn't say what temp to cook the meet in the oven, or how long. Our interent was down so I couldn't come here to view the recipe, so unfortunately I overcooked the meet the first time. I'm making it again tonight and now that I know the temp and time, it should be perfect.
