This beef Wellington recipe saved me from one dinner fiasco. Things happen unexpectedly, and if we’re not ready, we are always thrown off guard. Thank goodness for emergency recipes. My husband called me one afternoon, telling me that he would be eating dinner at home with his boss. They needed to talk about a project that he’s leading and our home was the “safest place”. My husband’s job wasn’t really dangerous per se, far from it actually, but it must have been a new venture.
It was around four in the afternoon and I was panicking. I needed to make a good dish that would look good and would taste good at the same time! And this beef Wellington recipe saved me.
I was able to make it while my kids were sleeping. It was a good thing I had store-bought puff pastry at home so I skipped the step of making homemade ones. I finished everything, including the dessert, at around 7.
They arrived at exactly 8. I was even able to prepare the house and got cleaned up. Adrenaline rush at its finest, I tell ya!
My husband and his two bosses enjoyed the Beef Wellington. His lady boss kept complimenting me and I had the decency not to blush. I was just glad that the emergency recipe had paid off!
