Beef Wellington

This savory recipe combines beef loin, a finely diced and chopped mushroom mix, and It's also surprisingly easy to make, but can easily be completely prepped a day in advance and then slid into the oven for 30 minutes to bake before serving. Great for birthdays, Valentine's Day, or Mothers/Fathers Day.
