 | | HISTORY OF BEEF WELLINGTON The Duke of Wellington, who won the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, was quite indifferent to food, so much so that his cooks often gave notice, despairing of using their culinary talents in his household. |
 | | Beef Wellington: This tenderloin of beef in puffed pastry was the favorite of the late President Richard Nixon and was originally created to honor the Duke of Wellington. |
 | | While his proud English chef dubbed the preparation, "Wellington Steak," his Gaelic counterpart across the Channel, still smarting from Napoleon's defeat, simply called the it, "Filet de Boeuf en Cro-te." Beef Wellington is a combination of seared filet of beef tenderloin done in either a large cut or in individual servings. |
