  Perhaps the steaks were to blame, as they literally tasted of NOTHING, but this was VERY dissapointing :-( I am a fairly competent cook, but the pastry didnt cook properly, it was soggy on the bottom and at the edges, the pate and steak were kind of wet and tasteless and we ended up feeding it to the cats (who loved it!) was so disspaointed because I've had my eye on this recipe for a while and was looking foward to making it.

  runningkitten, yes I had the soggy problem too, but have now found that when you take the steak out of the pan if you dry it with kitchen paper before putting it on the pastry, and make sure the pastry is the same thickness all over, then it solves the problem :)

  A family favourite now! The first time we used ready rolled sheets of puff pastry, this tended to be a little soggy. We now use ready made puff pastry that needs to be rolled out, with a little flour added. It's better now, though we strive for perfection.

  This was really yummy - the only thing that let it down was how moist the steaks were when I put them in the pastry. It was a bit soggy by the time I served it - recipe was great to follow, simple enough and impressed my boyfriend! Job done!

  Very nice but I also had a problem with soggy pastry. The steak was done to perfection albeit rare so I could have probably given it a couple of minutes more in the oven. I also added the extra mushrooms and garlic as a couple of people have suggested and thoroughly enjoyed it. Served with th root vegetable gratin that is suggested as an accompaniment and that was great.

  I was really pleased with the way this recipe turned out - I didn't use pre-bought pate, but cooked the mushrooms as in other recipes. Next time though, I would use smaller steaks and cook mine a little bit less - I prefer my steak medium. Hubby loved his though, and ended up eating half my steak, as I'm not a big eater.

  Made for an anniversary dinner. We don't like steak rare so I oiled the meat and chargrilled for 3-4 mins on each side, then cooked the wellington in the oven for 20 mins rather 12. Came out just how we like it, I would say rare-well done as it was still a bit pink in the middle. I would say this recipe could benefit from timing instructions based on how you like your meat cooked. Also, we used a block of puff pastry rather than ready rolled and halved qtys for 2 people. Amazing recipe for a special occassion.

  wrap the beef in a pancake and this prevents the soggy pastry problem, sounds weird but it definately works.

  I did this for a treat on boxing day, nobody likes pate and one of my sons doesn't like mushrooms, so I seared the fillet for seconds only each side, let cool, rolled out pastry and covered in strips of parma ham, laid steak on this and wrapped it up. It was delish! Everybody loved it. (I still prefer it with mushrooms though)
