Beef Wellington chetham arms

As an incredibly popular meat within the UK, beef recipes are vast and varied. With a range of beef cuts to consider as well as cooking methods and flavour pairings, beef recipes are varied in flavour, texture and preparation time - give this one a try for yourself! My recipe for Beef Wellington from the menu at the Chetham arms.

  • 50g button mushrooms
  • 100g spinach
  • Puff pastry
