Roast the 1.4kg Wellington in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes.

Check for doneness using a meat thermometer inserted into the centre of the beef:
Doneness Internal Temperature Rare 50–52°C Medium Rare 55–57°C Medium 60–63°C Well Done 70°C+
Tip: Start checking from 45 minutes for accuracy.
🍯 Glaze Finish

Optional: In the last 5–10 minutes, brush with reserved egg wash or glaze to enhance golden colour and shine.
-
Avoid opening the oven too often to maintain heat.
⏲ Resting

Cut thick or thin slices depending on your serving style.

Each slice should showcase the contrast of pink beef, mushroom duxelles, and golden pastry.
