This Easy Stuffed Pork Wellington is a perfect choice when hosting a dinner party it's so simple and delicious.

Our pork tenderloin stuffed inside this puff pastry sounded so intimidating to make but it's really easier than I ever imagined.

My guests were truly impressed and gave me rave reviews and enjoyed this easy gourmet meat-in-pastry dinner immensely.

These flavor combinations in this flakey puff pastry have a bit of dijon mustard, garlic, and pepper with sauteed mushrooms, along with a garlic-seasoned pork tenderloin making the perfect bite.

This version of Pork Wellington will have family and friends thinking this meal came from a 5-star restaurant plus this marsala gravy homemade is the perfect addition.

Easy Wellington


If you've always wanted to try a beef wellington and were intimidated by the process, this is a great place to start learning how to make it using pre-seasoned pork tenderloin.

It was super simple and certainly gave me all the confidence to make this with beef instead of pork the next time I made this.

All the flavors were spot on and by using a meat thermometer in the center, the cooking times were perfect for these meats to ensure it's just the way your family likes the meat cooked.

With just that simple tool, this was a breeze and the meat was tender, juicy, and delicious wrapped in that fabulous flakey puff pastry.

We loved how this tasted, it was very impressive served to our family and friends, and the easiest dinner for hosting a dinner party.
