Is Beef Wellington an English dish?

Beef Wellington is a steak dish of English origin, made out of fillet steak coated with pâté (often pâté de foie gras) and duxelles, wrapped in puff pastry, then baked. Some recipes include wrapping the coated meat in a crêpe or parma ham to retain the moisture and prevent it from making the pastry soggy.

Using the plastic wrap as a guide, roll the beef tenderloin in the mushroom covered prosciutto to form a log. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Transfer Wellington to a foil-lined baking sheet and brush all over with beaten egg.

I cut my mustard with a ton of horseradish to increase its bite. It also translates to blandness. That's one of the reasons that beef Wellington exists—take a bland but tender cut of beef, and try and pack as much flavor and fat around it as possible. Try this with different meats, Dijon mustard and wild mushrooms for a more flavorful way of enjoying Beef Wellington. Roll the pastry away from you until the seams meet, then trim off excess with a knife. Puff pastry happens to be one of the foods that freezes best, losing none of its flavor or puffing ability during its stay in the freezer.
