Notes

Swaps. We made our beef wellington with beef fillet. If you are on a budget you can use another meat.
Size. When we originally showed people how to cook beef wellington in the air fryer, we had a fillet that was half the size. We found if you have a much smaller beef wellington 30 minutes instead of 60 minutes is the ideal cook time.
