BEEF WELLINGTON RECIPE FROM GORDON RAMSAY

Steps:

• 1. His new version of beef Wellington is an ode to the original recipe. But makes it more delicate and newer in flavors and texture! If you want to spoil your guests, this is a perfect dish!
• 2. Roll the fillet of beef in salt and pepper and sear it short in a hot pan for about 15 second each side. Then brush mustard all around it while it cools down.
• 3. Now make the duxelle. Put the mushrooms in a blender with some pepper and salt and blend it shortly, then add the chestnuts and blend again. Scrape the paste into a pan without oil and cook over a high heat for about 10 mins, tossing frequently, this is necessary to cook out the moisture from the mushrooms and intensify the flavor. Add some thyme and then spread it out on a plate to cool.
• 4. Put a big sheet of cling film on a work surface and arrange the Parma ham slices on it, slightly overlapping each one with the other, then grind over some pepper and spread the mushroom paste over it and place the seared beef fillet in the middle. Roll the Parma ham and paste around the beef to form a tight jacket. Twit the ends of the cling film to secure. Chill for 15-20 mins to allow the beef to set and keep its shape.
• 5. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface at the thickness of a £1 coin. Remove the cling film from the beef and then lay in the center. Brush the surrounding pastry with egg yolk and fold the ends over, and cutting off any excess. Turn over, so the seam is underneath, and place on a baking sheet. Brush over all the pastry with egg and chill for about 15 mins to let the pastry rest.
• 6. Heat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Lightly score the pastry at 1cm intervals and glaze again with beaten egg yolk. Bake for 20 minutes , then lower the oven setting to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and cook for another 15 mins. Allow to rest for 10-15 mins before slicing and serving with the accompaniments. The beef should still be pink in the center when you serve it.

BEEF WELLINGTON-GORDON RAMSAY RECIPE!

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 392°F Place the beef on a roasting tray, brush with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with pepper, then roast for 15 mins for medium-rare or 20 mins for medium. When the beef is cooked to your liking, remove from the oven to cool, then chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
• 2. While the beef is cooling, chop the mushrooms as finely as possible so they have the texture of coarse breadcrumbs. You can use a food processor to do this, but make sure you pulse-chop the mushrooms so they don't turn into mush.
• 3. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil and all the butter in a large pan and fry the mushrooms on a medium heat, with the thyme sprig, for about 10 mins stirring often, until you have a softened mixture. Season the mushroom mixture, pour over the wine and cook for about 10 mins until all the wine has been absorbed. The mixture should hold its shape when stirred. Remove the mushroom mixture from the pan to cool and discard the thyme.
• 4. Overlap two pieces of plastic wrap over a large chopping board. Lay the prosciutto on the plastic wrap, slightly overlapping, in a double row. Spread half the mushroom mixture over the prosciutto, then sit the fillet on it and spread the remaining mushroom mixture over it. Use the plastic wrap edges to draw the prosciutto around the fillet, then roll it into a sausage shape, twisting the ends of plastic wrap to tighten it as you go. Chill the fillet while you roll out the pastry.
• 5. Roll out a third of the pastry to a 7 x 12in strip and place on a non-stick baking sheet. Roll out the remaining pastry to about 11 x 14in. Unravel the fillet from the plastic wrap and place it in the center of the smaller strip of pastry and brush the pastry's edges, and the top and sides of the wrapped fillet, with beaten egg yolk. Using a rolling pin, carefully lift and drape the larger piece of pastry over the fillet, pressing well into the sides. Trim the edges to about a 1.5in rim. Seal the rim with the edge of a fork or spoon handle. Glaze all over with more egg yolk and, using the back of a knife, mark the beef Wellington with long diagonal lines taking care not to cut into the pastry. Chill for at least 30 mins and up to 24 hours.
• 6. Heat oven to 392°F Brush the Wellington with a little more egg yolk and cook until golden and crisp - 20-25 mins for medium-rare beef, 30 mins for medium. Allow to stand for 10 mins before serving in thick slices.
