“Become a Master at Beef Wellington: The Perfect Stay-at-Home Parent Recipe!”
Beef Wellington: A Delicious and Succulent Meal
As a stay-at-home parent, I am always looking for new and delicious meals that can be prepared in a short amount of time. One of my favorites is Beef Wellington, a classic dish that is both succulent and flavorful. The dish is simple to make and requires a few basic ingredients that can be found in almost any pantry.
To make this delectable meal at home, you will need the following ingredients: two pounds of beef tenderloin, two tablespoons of butter, one sheet of frozen puff pastry, two tablespoons of Dijon mustard, one egg (beaten), one tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, one clove of garlic (minced), one teaspoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of shallots (chopped), one teaspoon of fresh thyme (chopped), four ounces of mushrooms (chopped), and one tablespoon of fresh parsley (chopped).
The first step in preparing this meal is to preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, place the beef tenderloin in a roasting pan and rub it with the butter. Once the butter has been spread evenly across the meat, bake it in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until it is cooked through.
While your beef is cooking, prepare your pastry by layering the pastry on a lightly floured surface. Then spread the Dijon mustard on top of the pastry and add the beaten egg over it to help bind the ingredients together. Next, spoon the Worcestershire sauce over the egg layer and then sprinkle your minced garlic on top.
Now take your cooked beef tenderloin out of the oven and place it on top of the pastry mixture. Heat up your olive oil in a skillet on medium heat and add in the chopped shallots until they become lightly browned. Add your mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until they become tender.
Finally, mix in your chopped parsley and thyme into your skillet and spoon this mixture over your beef tenderloin before folding up the sides of your puff pastry to form a seal around it. Bake this masterpiece in your preheated oven for an additional 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve this delicious meal and have a wonderful time with family!
My family absolutely loves this meal and I cannot get enough! It’s always a pleasure preparing Beef Wellington because not only is it easy to make but also super delicious.

-1 pound spaghetti
-4 eggs
-4 ounces pancetta, thinly sliced
-1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-Salt and pepper to taste
-4 tablespoons olive oilAs a stay at home parent, I understand the importance of finding the time to cook a delicious and nutritious meal for the family. Today I’m going to share with you my recipe for Spaghetti Carbonara. It’s one of my favorite go-to dishes that always turns out great and is sure to please!
I first discovered this dish when my husband and I were on vacation in Rome. We had just finished a full day of sightseeing and decided to stop at a small restaurant for dinner. We were presented with a menu full of traditional Italian dishes; one of which was Spaghetti Carbonara. Intrigued by the description, we decided to give it a try. And boy, were we glad we did! The flavors were incredible – creamy, salty, and cheesy – all in one bite! From that moment on, it had become one of our favorite dishes.
When I returned home, I knew I had to recreate this dish for my family. After doing some research, I found that most recipes call for pasta, eggs, pancetta (or bacon), garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt and pepper. With simple ingredients like these, you can easily make this dish at home in no time!
To begin making this recipe, start by boiling a pot of salted water for the pasta. When it’s boiling add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente (tender but still firm). While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown and crispy (about 8 minutes). Next add the garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Once the spaghetti is done cooking, drain it and add it directly into the skillet with the pancetta/garlic mixture. Then crack 4 eggs into a bowl and whisk until blended together. Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti and stir until it is evenly distributed throughout. Add Parmesan cheese to taste (I usually use about 1/2 cup), season with salt & pepper to taste and mix everything together one last time. Serve immediately while hot!
My family absolutely loves this dish! It’s quick & easy to make yet absolutely delicious; plus it only requires simple ingredients that can easily be found in your pantry or refrigerator!
