Bring the joint to room temperature (about 1-2 hours out of the fridge, depending on size) for even cooking.
For Beef Wellington: Follow our dedicated recipe, sear the fillet briefly in a hot pan for a golden crust, cool completely, then wrap with mushroom duxelles, prosciutto or pâté, and puff pastry. Bake in a preheated oven at around 200°C (fan 180°C / Gas 6) for 35-50 minutes depending on size and desired doneness (aim for medium-rare internal 52-55°C). Check our guide to safe cooking temperatures for details.
For simple roasting: Sear in a very hot pan or oven at 220°C (fan 200°C) for 10-15 minutes to brown, then reduce to 180°C (fan 160°C) and roast 15-20 minutes per 500g plus extra time for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer for precision.
Rest loosely covered with foil for 15-20 minutes (or longer for larger joints) before carving – this lets the juices redistribute for incredibly tender, flavourful slices.
Carve thickly against the grain into even portions.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply roasted with classic accompaniments like red wine jus, roasted vegetables, and potatoes to highlight the delicate tenderness, or as Beef Wellington sliced thickly with a rich Madeira sauce, creamy mash, or seasonal greens for the ultimate luxurious feast.
