Steps:
- Set an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in panko bread crumbs and garlic powder until well combined and cook until bread crumbs are very lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil tomatoes until warmed through and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
- Finely chop blue cheese if there are any large chunks. Sprinkle on top of tomatoes, then top with bread crumb mixture. Broil until cheese is melted and bread crumbs are golden brown, about 1 more minute. Watch carefully, as bread crumbs can burn quickly.

Tips:
- To ensure your beef Wellington pastry is perfectly golden and flaky, brush it with an egg wash before baking.
- For a more intense blue cheese flavor, use a stronger variety such as Stilton or Gorgonzola.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the beef tenderloin until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare or 145°F (63°C) for medium.
- Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the beef Wellington. This will help ensure that the pastry cooks evenly.
- To make the parsley dill potatoes, use fresh herbs for the best flavor. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
- When roasting the tomatoes, be sure to drizzle them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.

This blue cheese and cress beef Wellington with broiled tomatoes, parsley dill potatoes, and broccolini spears is a truly impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
