Gordon Ramsay is known for his infamous Beef Wellington, which he charges £190 for (serving two people) at his restaurants, but what is his secret to making the tasty dish?
With celebrated chef Gordon Ramsay marking his 59th birthday today, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to examine one of his signature recipes – his Beef Wellington. The restaurateur, television personality and author is famous for his exceptional Beef Wellington, which costs £190 (serving two) at his establishments. But what makes his version of this classic dish so special?
The Scottish chef demonstrates his technique in a TikTok video, where fans have crowned him “King of Beef Wellingtons”. In the footage, he describes it as his “million dollar wellington”, declaring it “beautiful”. Gordon begins by explaining he uses the central portion of beef fillet, instructing: “Get that pan nice and hot first”. He then applies salt and pepper to season the meat.
The chef advises removing the beef from the refrigerator “at least 10 minutes” before cooking and wrapping it in cling film to “get a nice cylinder shape”.
After the meat is properly seasoned and the pan is “smoking”, he introduces a small amount of oil.
He continues: “The secret here is that we’re searing it for 60 seconds each side. Nothing more than that,” explaining he’s “locking in those juices”.
Gordon suggests rolling the meat away from yourself, followed by rolling it back towards you. “Let the pan do the work,” he advises.
Both ends must be sealed on each side too “because that’s where the juice is going to run out if you don’t sear that meat in”. The celebrity chef then instructs viewers to remove the beef and coat it in its own juices before brushing it with Dijon mustard.
Gordon emphasises the “important part” is applying the mustard whilst the steak is still warm. “If you do this when it’s nice and warm, the actual mustard seeps into the centre,” he explains.
Gordon’s complete Beef Wellington recipe is available on his website.
TikTok users were enthusiastic about the cooking tips, with one viewer declaring: “Looks awesome!”.
Another commented: “My toxic trait is thinking i could easily make this.”
A third confidently remarked: “I feel like I can cook this.”
Beyond spending £190 on Gordon Ramsay’s ‘Beef Wellington Experience’ for two at his restaurants, diners can also pay £240 for two people to sample it at his Savoy Grill location.
