Signature beef wellington – by Gordon Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay's signature chef dish is this. Perhaps that's why most people avoid it: we know Gordon for his culinary prowess, and anything associated with this kitchen ninja sounds like he can do it everything. With this simple chef recipe, you may learn how to make it like a professional chef. Chef Gordon Ramsay modernizes the classic Beef Wellington recipe with his trusty cast iron skillet, which gives the beef fillet color, depth, and flavor. Dijon mustard tenderizes, marinates, and gives a gentle kick to the filet mignon. Layers of prosciutto, savory chive crepe, a mushroom mixture, and puff pastry literally seal the deal on what will become your go-to recipe to impress.

What you need:

• 400 g beef fille
• 1-2 tablespoon mustard
• 500 g mushrooms
• Seasoning
• 8 slices palmer ham
• 500 g puff pastry
• 2 eggs yolks
• Fresh thyme

How to cook:

• Season the beef fillet all around generously with salt.
• Put some oil in a pan and heat it. Once hot, place the beef fillet on the pan and sear every side including the ends.
• Immediately the beef is of the pan, smear it generously with mustard and set it aside and let it sit for a while as you prepare the mushrooms.
• Chop the mushrooms and blend them. You can hand-cut them into fine pieces if you prefer more texture.
• Heat a pan and place the mushrooms in. Don’t add any oil. Just keep stirring and let the liquid simmer out.
• Add some thyme as you are doing this to add some flavor and aroma to it.
• Lay down a cling film, to assemble all the ingredients. Lay down the ingredients starting with palmer ham, then a layer of mushrooms, and finally the beef at the center. Roll over and twist the ends.
• Chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Get it out, unwrap and place it on the puff pastry. Roll over the puff pastry until the 2 ends meet. Trim the excess pastry. Twist the 2 ends together to seal it completely. Wrap again with the cling film. Put back in the fridge to firm up for about 10 minutes. Get it out and unwrap.
• To give it some color, brush it with egg yolk.
• Sprinkle salt on it and bake in the oven 200 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
• Slice and serve.
