Oh no, it's a dinner dilemma!

That's the view of one man who took to Reddit to ask 'am I the assh*ole' for not wanting a friend at his dinner get together because they only eat well done beef.
Ok, let's get a bit of context:
The original poster explains that he agreed with a friend to have a go at making a beef wellington.
Anyone who's ever watched Gordon Ramsey knows the dish takes a fair amount of time and effort to get right.
The plan was to give it a go, and host a few of their friends to enjoy it.
"We came up with a plan as follows: I would get the groceries the morning of and use the afternoon to make a beef wellington for 8 people at my home. Brandon and I would agree on 6 guests to join us for dinner. Invites were sent out well in advance. However, a few days before the dinner, one of the guests had to cancel."
No problem. After all, the slices could just be cut slightly thicker to cater for seven instead of 8.
The problem comes after word gets out within the friend group that there's a spare seat and someone suggests inviting Ava:
"We've known Ava for years. She's a great person and I have nothing against her. The thing is for this situation is that she doesn't eat beef with any pink. If it was burgers or steaks, I could just cook hers the way she likes it, but since a beef wellington is a roast, the whole thing is cooked the same."
Naturally, the host decides against inviting her, leading to a row among his friends who think he's excluding her and discriminating - I guess you could say they have beef.
Who's in the wrong here?
