Beef Wellington
I got some helpful responses regarding the puff pastry for Beef Wellington over the weekend. Now I am wondering the following:

Since all recipes call for partially pre-cooking the beef (searing, or partial roasting) and then cooling, can this part be done a whole day ahead of time. Are there any drawbacks to doing it that far ahead of time?

1. Yes I've cooked it the day before.
It didn't present any problems.

I would wait to wrap it until you are ready to cook it. Make sure you pat the meat dry before you wrap to prevent your crust from being soggy.

Are you putting mushrooms or fois gras on top of the meat before you wrap?
