Budget Friendly Beef Wellington

I wanted to celibrate the end of a long week and the beginning of the weekend with a nice meal but didn't feel like spending a ton of time in the kitchen. I decided to experiment with this twist on Beef Wellington using some Black River Angus Steaks from Walmart that I already had on hand. They are much more budget friendly then the filet that is traditionally used for Wellington.

I topped my steaks with fried onions, mushrooms and havarti cheese before wrapping them in butter puff pastry. I got my puff pastry pre-made from the grocery store.

This recipe takes very little prep time and leaves you with a very impressive result.

Budget Friendly Beef Wellington

Prep Time: 15 min Cooking Time: 40 min Total Time: 55 min

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 4oz steaks (I used Black River Angus Steaks from Walmart)

2 pinches of steak spice

1 cup spanish onion sliced

1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms

50g Havarti cheese (sliced or grated)

1 sheet pe-made puff pastry

Instructions

Heat a medium sized pan on med-high and pre-heat oven to 375F.
Season steaks with steak spice.
Once pan is hot add some butter or margarine and cook steaks for about a minute on each side. You just want to get a nice sear on the outside of the steak, not cook it all the way through.
Set steaks aside on a plate and add the onions and mushrooms to the pan with a little more butter or margarine. Cook until nice and brown.
