    These Mini Roast Beef Wellington Bites are a super easy and impressive appetizer that is perfectly paired with a healthier horseradish dipping sauce.

    This post is sponsored in partnership with The North American Meat Institute (NAMI), a contractor to the Beef Checkoff. I was compensated for my time.

    What words come to mind when I say Beef Wellington?

    Difficult? Impressive? Overwhelming? Expensive? Imma go with the default of d.) all the above, final answer.

    You know the million dollar answer? BITE SIZED.

    I don’t tell you much around these parts, but I love roast beef. So much so that it was an almost weekly ritual that my friend Ashley and I would hit up the local sub shop for a roast beef sub - light mayo, extra pickles, and lettuce for our entire high school careers. I may not clock in 4 subs a month now, but my heart still has a reserved spot dedicated to roast beef.

    Did you know roast beef is actually a processed meat? I know, “dietitian” and “processed meat” don’t exactly come up in the same sentence too often, but if you saw my Instagram post on “processed” foods, you may know how I feel about the word.

    The word processed simply means prepared. A LOT of foods are processed before it gets to your plate. Washed greens, chopped veggies, rolled oats, and of course meats. That includes processes like cutting, chopping, grinding, seasoning, and cooking. In fact, all meats actually need to be processed before we can even enjoy it. 

    If Mr. Rob was writing this, he’d tell you all about the history behind prepared meats, and probably tell you about the podcast he just listened to about it. I’ll give you the abstract version, and tell you that they’ve been around for centuries, and across different cultures as a means of preserving foods before refrigeration. Why do you think we love salty meats so much?!

    Case in point, if you like prepared meats as much as my 4 sub-club roast beef lovin’ self, you should enjoy them, and know they are just as much foods as kale and quinoa. 

    My inner 16 year old may be heartbroken, but I think Roast Beef Wellington may be my new favorite way to enjoy it. It’s kind of hard NOT to love something wrapped in flaky pastry though.

    Money Saving Tips for these Roast Beef Wellington Bites:

    • Buy in bulk. Purchasing bigger containers of items like the Greek yogurt and mayo is more cost effective most of the time when compared to the smaller sizes. 
    • Shop the sales. Do you always gravitate to the same deli meats and cheeses? Check out the sales! Opt for whichever brand is on sale that week to maximize savings.

        Good question Jeanette! I have seen gluten-free puff pastry sheets before, but refrigerated gluten-free crescent rolls or croissant dough would work for these as well.

      I've had Beef Wellington and Venison Wellington. And the whold family loved it. But the prospect of making mini Beef Wellingtons sound so good. They are perfect appetizers and would make a wonderful start for a fancy dinner. I'm definitely pinning this recipe.

      The recipe is a good and very tasty rip on a "Mushroom, Steak & Cheese", in bite.
      Unfortunately, Beef Wellington it is not.
      The flavors are not the same, especially the cheesy goodness found in yours, never in the earthy omami flavors In a Wellington. Please do not take this as an insult, this isn't my intention. I don't want to discount the deliciously wonderful appetizer/snack recipe you've shared, I liked it and will make it again.
      Titling this as a version of a Wellington is a bit misleading.

        Thanks Kelly! I haven't made them ahead of time, but good to note for me to try that. I think as long as they are kept refrigerated, they would be okay, but would worry the pastry may get a little soggy if left too long.
