Ryan and I will be celebrating the 14th anniversary of our first date this Valentine’s Day. Queue the collective, “awwwwwwww…..” I know, talk about a high pressure situation having a first date on Valentine’s Day! The past few years we have ditched the prix-fixe restaurant menus (mostly because dinner and a babysitter is more than we’re willing to spend on our current budget) and have opted for a quieter celebration at home. What’s the one dish that can go straight from Ryan’s stomach to his heart? Beef Wellington. So, I came up with this recipe for individual, personal-sized Wellingtons for two that will fit the bill for a romantic dinner with your sweetheart (full printable recipe at the bottom of this post).
Watch the video to get the story on why Ryan loves Beef Wellington and what exactly we did on that fateful night 14 years ago. I show you step by step how to get the perfect mid-rare on your steak that even Gordon Ramsay would be proud to eat.

Many thanks to Ryan for being a good sport and putting up with me for all of these years. All our love to you and best wishes for a love-filled Valentine’s Day!
