Not so simple. Very tasty! The British classic, but a bit smaller in size! This dish decadent and loaded with flavor! The red wine sauce is a perfect combination with the wellington and the give it a kick and some freshness, it is served with a delicious arugula salad!

Directions
- Mince the garlic, shallot and mushrooms very fine

- In a bowl mix the flour with salt, milk and 2 eggs
- Fry the crepe mixture in a pan with some butter until golden brown
- Assemble the wellingtons by layering the crepe followed by the mushroom mixture, serrano ham, the beef coated with Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Fold and roll tight in some foil, set aside in the fridge
- When cooled down, layer the Wellington on a piece of puff pastry and fold. Coat with an egg wash
- Put in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius until an internal temperature of 49 degrees Celsius or until the pastry is golden brown.
- In the meantime make the wine sauce by frying some shallots and garlic in the beef juice. After some minutes add the beef stock, red wine and thyme, let this simmer until almost all the liquid is dissolved. Add some butter and whisk, until a nice glistening thick sauce
- Make the vinaigrette for the arugula salad by combining all the ingredients
