Last night I had a Beef Wellington, at the Honest Lawyer Restaurant in Cockermouth. It was made by putting a little filet mignon inside a puff pastry. It was delicious. I am not sure if this counts as a pie, but most pies I've been eating lately are basically beef and pastry crust, so I'm including it here on my pie blog. I think most Beef Wellingtons are made with the whole tenderloin, not just a little filet, and if so, mine was like a pasty, or hand-pie, as some call them; an individualized little combination of beef and crust. Very nice.
In France, there is the filet de bœuf en croûte (fillet of beef in pastry), which seems to be a Beef Wellington here.
Here are a couple photos of my Beef Wellington.
