Some say it was Sir Arthur Wellesley's (the Duke of Wellington), favorite meal. Others will tell you that it was a dish only fit for the pallet of one Winston Churchill. And you might hear a third tale of gastronomy from a certain British a**hole but lovable chef, Mr. Gordon Ramsey. But any way you slice it (get it) beef wellington is a dish that anyone can love. The meal on this fine Sunday consisted of the following dishes:
Beef Wellington with a beef and wine sauce.
The meal was easier than you might think to prepare and the presentation nothing short of bad ass.

Quinoa side.
Quinoa, pronounced KEEN-wah, for those unfamiliar is a good and healthy substitute for rice that has a little more nutty flavor. Paired with onions and lemon the dish went over well.

Dessert
As someone who likes to think "outside of the box" I decided to expand this meal to include a traditional dessert. Bread pudding has long been one of my favorites and substituting cinnamon raisin bread in for the standard white gave this recipe the added "kick" I so look for in BP.

Steve's Tasting Notes: I enjoyed the texture the bread lended to the beef and the sauce was icing on the cake. I had 3 helpings of Quinoa and enjoyed the parsley therein. Bread pudding was nothing short of stellar. Good work Sir Paddy Moroyle.
