From Wikipedia:
Duxelles, pronounced dook-SEHL, is a finely chopped (minced) mixture of mushrooms or mushroom stems, onions, shallots and herbs sautéed in butter, and reduced to a paste (sometimes cream is used as well).
BEEF WELLINGTON
I would recommend a classic dish like Beef Wellington for a special occasion. It's a delicious and impressive dish that combines tender beef fillet with savory mushroom duxelles, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry. It's sure to impress your guests and make the occasion memorable.
No. By definition Beef Wellington is made with meat from the tenderloin. You can make a faux-wellington by wrapping any cut of meat in pastry & duxelles, but it won't be a true Beef Wellington.

To cook a Wellington-style dish, start by searing a seasoned beef fillet in a hot pan until browned. Next, prepare a duxelles by finely chopping mushrooms, shallots, and herbs, then sautéing them until moisture evaporates. Wrap the beef in the mushroom mixture and then in prosciutto or ham, before encasing everything in puff pastry. Bake in a preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and the beef reaches your desired doneness.

one of two things did not happen first your roux wasn't cooked enough, this breaks down the flour starches allowing them to thicken the sauce or second you added too much milk or cream which thins the sauce. To make a good bechamel sauce you start with four tablespoons of butter, and sautee about 1/4 to 1/2 a medium onion, diced or minced, only until softened. To this add two tablespoons flour and stir it in until smooth, if it is thin add more flour a little at a time, if it absorbs all the butter and clumps up add more butter. It should spread evenly through the pan and not clump up. After cooking this on low to medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes (do not brown it) add milk 1 cup then 1/4 cup at a time, stirring until the mixture bubbles and thickens, about 5 minutes (the first cup will bubble and thicken right away), faster if pan is very hot, add more milk to thin the sauce as it thickens. Once you get it to the right consistency add a pinch of nutmeg and stir it in well, remove from heat and strain into boat or bowl for use. Veloute sauce is similar but 50/50 cream(milk) and chicken stock. Add duxelles of mushrooms after straining for a creamy mushroom gravy, or add more cream with duxelles for cream of mushroom soup. Add a cup or more of shredded cheese to a cup of bechamel for cheese sauce. Or romano (or parmesan) and garlic for Alfredo sauce. Bechamel and veloute sauces are often interchangeable in making other sauces and creamy soups.
