Ingredients for Beef Wellington Gordon Ramsay Recipe

  • Filet Of Beef
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Chestnut Mushrooms
  • Butter
  • Fresh Thyme
  • Dry White Wine
  • Prosciutto
  • 1 lb sheet of puff pastry
  • Flour
  • 1 tbsp water

How to Make Beef Wellington Gordon Ramsay Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season a 2-3 lb beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper. Sear the tenderloin in a hot pan with 2 tbsp olive oil until browned on all sides. Remove and let cool completely.
  3. Spread 1/2 cup Dijon mustard evenly over the seared tenderloin.
  4. Layer 8 oz prosciutto slices over the mustard, completely covering the beef.
  5. Top with 1 lb cremini mushrooms, sautéed until tender and any excess liquid has evaporated.
  6. Carefully roll out 1 lb sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
  7. Place the prepared beef tenderloin in the center of the pastry.
  8. Fold the pastry over the beef, completely encasing it. Trim and seal the edges tightly, crimping them to create a neat finish. Use a fork or spoon handle to ensure a proper seal, preventing air pockets.
  9. Brush the pastry with 1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water (egg wash). This helps create a golden-brown finish and seals the pastry.
  10. Score the top of the pastry with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape.
  11. Place the Beef Wellington on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  12. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare. Tent loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if the pastry browns too quickly.
  13. Let the Beef Wellington rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
