Sorry about the double post, Jerboa fucked up. I tried deleting the other post, and I guess that hasn't federated.

Was it good is the question

Yes it was. It was very good.

However, all the extra effort in the preparation of the Wellington really doesn't seem worth the result. A properly made filet steak or filet roast would be a much better use of the the meat.

For the record, I have had beef Wellington at Gordon Ramsay Steak, and I felt the same about that one too, so I don't think that opinion has to do with the quality of my execution.

I felt the same way after making a Shooter's sandwich.

Agreed. Wellington is a fun thing to try (both eating and making) but the effort required does not equal the result. My husband and I made one for my dad's birthday last year and while it was fun, we will probably never go through all that effort again short of a very, very good reason.

Edit - yours looks great, though!
