Also asked, what kind of meat do you use for beef Wellington?

Beef Wellington is a pie made of fillet steak coated with pâté (often pâté de foie gras) and duxelles, which is then wrapped in parma ham and puff pastry, then baked. Some recipes include wrapping the coated meat in a crêpe to retain the moisture and prevent it from making the pastry soggy.

Similarly, how far in advance can you prep beef Wellington? Beef Wellington is a dish that can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and baked from fully chilled.

Similarly one may ask, how do you make beef Wellington not soggy?

Drape a large sheet of uncooked puff pastry over the beef and seal the edges of the cooked and uncooked pastry together with beaten egg, trimming any excess pastry. Chill then glaze and bake in a hot oven for 20-30 minutes (or following your own recipe instructions).
