Cooking guidelines from defrosted:

Brush pastry with a mix of beaten egg and cream. Lightly oil the preheated tray. Carefully place the Wellington, without the baking paper, onto the baking tray and cook for:
Rare: 19 -21 minutes - rest 10 -15 minutes
Medium: 28 - 30 minutes - rest 10 - 15 minutes
Well done: 32 - 34 minutes - rest 5-10 minutes
Remove from the oven, insert a temperature probe into the centre of the fillet and rest 5 - 15 minutes before serving or until it reaches your desired finished temperature.
Rare: final rested temperature 45 - 47°C
