As much fun as it is to whip up the latest and greatest new recipes you see everywhere, sometimes it’s nice to take a trip back in time and experience a classic dish that will never go out of style. A taste of simpler times is all yours with our beef Wellington recipe! Featuring an impossibly tender chateaubriand roast seasoned to perfection with a classic blend of spices and packed cozily into wonderfully buttery and flaky puff pastry, this dish is sure to give your taste buds an all-inclusive trip in the nostalgia machine.
Why We Love This Seasoned Chateaubriand Recipe
This classic, crowd-pleasing recipe is guaranteed to elevate your dining experience and impress everyone around the table when they see (and taste) the star of the dish: Omaha Steaks Butcher’s Cut Chateaubriand. Our world-famous filet mignon roast is hand-selected by our most experienced master butchers and aged at least 30 days before being double-trimmed to exact specifications. While this exquisite roast is full of flavor all on its own, we’re kicking it up a notch by coating it in Omaha Steaks Seasoning’s mouthwatering combination of garlic, onions, and savory spices for a flawless, luxurious meal.

While your roast is thawing, thaw the puff pastry in the refrigerator for about four hours, or for one and a half hours at room temperature.
