Can You Prepare A Beef Wellington The Day Before?
Yes, you can prepare a beef wellington the day before. This involves preparing the pastry and spreading the duxelles (mushroom mixture) on the beef. Wrap it tightly in cling film and store it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, remove it from the fridge and brush it with egg wash before baking it in the oven. This allows you to plan ahead for a special occasion and reduces the amount of cooking time needed on the day of the event.
