Need answer right away! Refrig wellington pre- or post baking?
Comments (5)I know I'm late, but I was out all day and just saw this now. So for future reference, unbaked is the way to go. Once the beef has been browned, it needs to be fully cooled before wrapping in the puff pastry. It won't be sticky. I've often prepared beef wellington and a chicken version early in the day and refrigerated it and not baked it until dinner time. I've never had a problem with it going to sticky or soggy.

Comments (7)Here's the way I made mine one New Year's Eve: For two Wellingtons: 1/3 lb mushrooms (150 grams) cleaned and chopped very finely scant 1/4 cup minced onion or shallots 2 TBS sherry 2 TBS butter 2 TBS finely chopped parsley 2 TBS fine herb paté ( or other good quality liver paté ) salt and fresh ground pepper puff pastry - fresh or frozen - 1 large or 2 small sheets 2 filet mignon few drops oil 1 egg well beaten 1). Sauté first 5 ingredients with some salt & pepper in pan until all moisture is absorbed and it resembles a paste. Take off stove and blend with paté, mixing well. 2). Sear filets in hot pan in oil a minute on each side to seal. Let cool a minute or two. (This is optional - leave out if you like the meat quite rare.) 3) Spread paté/mushroom Duxelle mixture on topside of each filet. 4). Divide puff pastry in two and roll out until you have a round or oval shape large enough to cover top and sides of each filet. Cover each filet with pastry and tuck edges well under until nearly meeting on bottomside. Use extra pastry bits to form leaves or pastry decorative designs for top. Brush pastry with beaten egg and press designs onto top, also brushing them with egg. 5) Bake in preheated oven 375 F for about 15 - 20 minutes or until golden. Note: I definitely wouldn't pre-cook them in a pan for those who like them rare. SharonCb...See MoreGS wouldn't touch it, but I sure enjoyed all of it!

Comments (24)If I were served Wellington and Hasselback potatoes, I'd be picking through looking for less starchy fatty, and more undressed vegetables. I agree with plllog, I would keep it light/less starchy. My first thought was roasted brussel sprouts, or green beans. Then I decided to search on line just for fun to see what others paired the BW with. Here's what I found. Gordan Ramsey - Roasted carrots (several calls for carrots) Broccoli Brussel sprouts Fresh beets, boiled or roasted with balsamic glaze Carrot puree Grilled fresh asparagus Roasted parsnips Tyler Florence - Warm wilted winter greens Sauteed kale Your dinner sounds yummy, wish I was coming. ;)...See MoreSuzieque
