Anyone doing Beef Wellington?

We're thinking about doing a Wellington on our large.  Any experiences to share would be greatly appreciated.  All the best, JC

Did one last weekend and it was great.   I will admit I ruined then mixture of shallots, mushrooms, etc during the sautéing phase....I had them on low heat to dry out the mushrooms, but it never looked dry to me.  Eventually they turned black and had to be thrown away.  

The meat, prosciutto ham wrap and pastry were amazing!  We had some folks who like their steak well done (annoying I know but they're guests...) so instead of tying the tail over to have an even width of tenderloin, I let the skinny tail finish with the rest so that part was on the well side.

I will definitely try it again.   If you need to get pumped up for the cook check out Gordon Ramseys Christmas YouTube video of beef wellington!

Good luck!

An alert to @JustineCaseyFeldown as I believe he has the recipe and BGE technique down to a science.  Of course given the date/time this may ring hollow til next year.
