Beef Wellington's have been on my Outdoor Cooking bucket list for several years as an “I can do this” challenge recipe. I thought as many people do, that this recipe would be too challenging for the grill or my culinary skills. Wrong on both counts was the results of finally getting around to cooking this amazing recipe on the grill. Beef Wellington only requires a few basic skills such as sautéing and baking on the grill. The ingredient list is minimal and the time to put it together is a little over an hour depending on your prep skills.

I can say that the price tag on making Beef Wellington's is a bit steep for most budgets. My cost for this recipe ran a little over $50 for two Beef Wellington's. Next time I make these and I will make these again, I plant to substitute a more friendly cut of beef, perhaps even Tri-Tip.

As you can see watching the video above, Beef Wellington's are very easy to make and turn out fantastic. I did grill mine on the Island Grillstone but you can use a skillet or baking sheet to great effect.
