Question 1

Can I make Classic Beef Wellington ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Classic Beef Wellington keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or stock if it has dried out.

Question 2

How long does this take to cook?

Accepted Answer

Plan for around 1 hr 30 min total. Most of that time is hands-off, perfect to set up and walk away.

Question 3

Can I swap the beef for something else?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Classic Beef Wellington works well with most lean proteins. Try chicken, prawns, tofu, or tempeh, keep portion sizes the same and adjust cooking time slightly for thickness.

Question 4

What can I serve with this?

Accepted Answer

Classic Beef Wellington pairs beautifully with a simple green salad, steamed seasonal vegetables, or warm crusty bread. For something heartier, add rice, couscous, or roasted potatoes.

Question 5

How long does it keep in the fridge?

Accepted Answer

Stored in an airtight container, leftovers keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. We do not recommend freezing as the texture can change on thawing.
