Can I Improve Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington?
My Method uses Sous-vide Beef Tenderloin and Homemade Puff Pastry but... Is that enough ?? 10% off your 1st purchase using the link : www.squarespace.com/frenchguy
Gordon Ramsay's twitter account : / gordonramsay
Please tweet something friendly ;)
For the beef I used a Chateaubriand, which is the central part of a beef tenderloin or beef filet. It is chilled, then seared on high heat (fully seasoned salt and pepper). Then, it is cooked sous vide for 2 hours - 2 hours and a half, at 50°C or 122°F. Quickly chilled, then in the fridge overnight.
Homemade puff pastry recipe :
--------------------
Lean dough called “Détrempe”
500g AP flour
250g water
10g salt and NO YEAST.
Mix all that and chill for 30 min.
Then for the 22cm square Butter slab.
380g butter : Flatten and chill.
Watch the croissant dough video for detailed process but this one require 6 single folds.

And he'll fill it with jellied eels. And serve it with mushy peas. And press the button that launches the nuclear missile that obliterates Paris for the final time.

I had to 👻
@Will BillGC And this is where you're wrong. Why do you think is Beef Wellington one of the hardest dishes in the world? Because there are many different things you have to pay attention to. I've tried to do it twice but it never turned out perfect. This is, I think, a method, if you really want it to turn out perfect and you got the time, you should go for it!
@Will BillGC my first attempt: overcooked meat with no color on the pastry 2nd attempt: too much moisture so the steam cracked my pastry and so it went all soggy 3rd attempt: was decent, wouldve liked more color on my pastry but it was quite crisp and delicious, meat had the perfect temperature With the price of the meat Im not making this dish that often and for that it is at least one of the harder ones (maybe not THE hardest but it takes a bit of practice) Next time ill try Alex "recipe" and just do it the day before, if that gives me perfect color on the pastry and my desired temperature on the meat im perfectly fine sitting a few hours in the kitchen, not like I have to babysit my meat while sous vide, other than that it doesnt take THAT much longer.
@Will BillGC sure those are my mistakes and in the meantime I figured it out. But its not a problem at all to sous vide my meat while at work (with a timer) so it finishes when I come back from work, put it in the fridge for the next day and then just have to wrap it up... I can even put some meat for that day into my sous vide for that day... It really doesnt make a whole lot of a difference, at least for me. Ill try it for my girlfriends next birthday since its her favourite meal. Im just not that great of a cook, hence my mistakes the first times. But thanks for your tips! Ill keep that in mind, either for this dish or whenever I have a problem similar to those I had. Thanks
Alex I love your videos! What a joy to watch someone who insists on cooking exactness and can even explain it mathematically and in spectacular French language! Thank you for making these videos. They are wonderful. Again-thank you.
honestly loved this technique! the only thing i’d have to say is that when putting mustard on the meat , it should be warm so it soaks in . but it looks sooooo delicious . this man right here. 📈📈 🔥 just pure amazing !
this guy takes cooking like its a plan to land on the sun

my friends and I bought a full tenderloin for thanksgiving that we've been dry-aging for 35 days and we can wait to make this with this system, it stresses me out too much to not sous vide it first and have no idea the doneness ahead of time. I've watched this video like 10 time, I cant wait. Thank you amigo - if you're ever around a Cirque du Soleil show let me know and I will arrange tickets for you. we watch your videos in the training rooms all the time!!!

I made my first Beef Wellington this past Christmas and OMG was it good! But omg the stress wondering when it was done. I am going to use your method from now on! Thank you!
It literally only takes 35 minutes to get it cooked perfectly if done right.
Alex, I want you to know how I see you. When I was young and she was old, Julie Child came on TV. I didn't realize what a national treasure she was, only the entertainment value of her. Know that I'm older (56), I remember with regret I didn't take advantage of her style, education and value to humanity. You're young now, and you're equally entertaining, in your own rights, more so. I hope to continue watching you grow, gaining and becoming over these years, and not lose a world treasure to time again. You're a hit, a beautiful, energetic talent who demands more from a world which demands far too little of itself in my opinion. You're a blessing and a warmth during a time when "friendship" is a cold list of screen names.

hey there Alex, my first time seeing your vids, and I absolutely love it. it's like the perfect combination of food and science, while still showing the passion and respect for the food. still hoping Gordon will see your meat lol
This is my 2nd Xmas where I watch this video and recreate the wellington. And I did it Valentine's day. This video is great!
I love how this dudes channel name is just "Alex"
It used to be "Alex French Guy Cooking" but now people know him as Alex, the french guy who cooks, so the rest is superfluous.
Gordon : "You don't use Dijon Mustard" Alex : "Challenge Accepted"
Awesome! the doneness of the beef looks incredible! no grey ring at all. I was thinking: since suis vide means the beef will always be perfactly done all the way through, you could maybe get a better beef to pastry ratio by butterflying the beef into more like a flatter rectangle, like a very large steak (more surface area = more pastry.)
WOW! The reveal on that beef was BEAUTIFUL!!! It was absolutely perfect!
Beef Wellington SUCCESS!!! I made my first ever beef Wellington for Christmas dinner today, using Alex’s sous vide technique and it turned out PERFECTLY. My husband was skeptical at first that I was planning on “boiling” $30/lb beef, but he was persuaded once I showed him the video. Thanks so much, Alex! I’ve subscribed to your channel and will definitely be checking out your other cooking videos.
im trying it this year too!
I was curious as to the temperature of the center of the tenderloin after baking

hey Alex, many compliments for your channel. i will say that this is very interesting anyway i think that cooking at low tmp may have a side effect: you risk to loose liquid that is something you will need to avoid if you want the fillet remain soft and tender for the same reason you need to be carefull with salt in the first step. what do you think about after your experience? great job!

Just tried his recipe, first time, success! Thank you! Very pleased with the results.
This is art. I was always too scared to make Wellington because I was worried about over cooking the meat. Love your engineering approach to food!
I shed a tear during the final cut- thru - beautiful
It looks gorgeous! 1) Does the beef come back up to serving temp? Do you rest it before cutting? 2) Is the pastry cooked all the way through? That is, is there a soggy area at interface of crepe and puff pastry?
I recently tried my first beef Wellington and from now on every time I get the chance to get one I will. I’m not a fan of steak but beef Wellington is just so delicious on a whole new level.
Big ups to the butcher seems like a very helpful guy
If there is one video I can watch over and over again it's this one (I've watched it about 6 times now)
Ok. I’m gonna do this. I grew up on a cattle ranch in California, we had chateaubriand far more often than the average folk. It was just not prepared so ornately. But I want to taste this and not go to a restaurant. You’ve given me hope :)
Think you're such an amazing chef, you always manage to bring everything to the next level. Great personality and you're always enthusiastic. Mad respect for you bro.
Hi Alex, your temperature chart on Gordon's meat is wrong. Gordon chills his meat several times during the cooking process. Infact, before he bakes the pastry he chills the assembled wellington. You can't exactly decorate room temp puff pastry
This
Yes, Gordon does chill the beef, but the diagram still stands because the fillet is still uncooked, while Alex's is fully cooked via sous vide. The chart is just a simplified visualization of the temperatures and doneness of the beef and pastry and where they meet in perfection.
@@bowow0807 well no, it does not hold up. If you have two pieces of meat at the same temperature (like 4-5 C in a fridge) it really does not matter if one of them's been cooked prior the pastry treatment or not, you need exactly the same amount of energy and time to get them to temperature. In Alex's case, he is essentially double cooking the meat. All in with Gordon chilling the meat, the charts should look rather similar, especially the last part (resting and baking)
@@lanthorn20 basically you are saying that the time to cook the raw meat in the oven is exactly the same time that is needed for a good crust on the puff pastry. Most likely, the oven temperature that Alex is using is higher than the one Gordon is using, thus reducing the time in the oven for Alex.
@@lanthorn20 there is a gradient when cooking meat the traditional method, meaning the outer edge of the beef will be hotter then the center. The purpose of cooking beef to a certain temp, besides cooking, it to get the desired texture. With sous vide, it's already at that doneness. Alex already said he's warming it up, not cooking it, the desired cooking is the pastry. Meaning he doesn't have get the center of the beef to 120*F, he just needs to get it warm, which if I had to guess is about 90~100*F. If you traditionally "cooked" beef to that temp, would still be raw. FYI, 110*F is like hot water out of the tap. When you eat beef, cooked at a certain temp, it doesn't stay at that same temp by the time you start actually eating it. The PURPOSE of cooking the beef the way Alex did is to not having to leave it in the oven longer. This lessen the chance the water in the beef turning into steam, making the pastry soggy.
I followed his idea of precoocking the meat once. He convinced me with the idea of better control. The problem is, that by this method, the meat will likely be cold and unpleasant (my impression so far of all sous vide cooked meat). I tried the wellington again the straight way, I overcooked it, but it was still much more pleasant. And for the recipe: do not use the pancake, it is nonsense, good for nothing. Do it like Gordons version: works.If you do not like half raw meat: Just cook it longer, the pastry keeps it moist.
I have to make this, every single component looks perfect!
I imagined his Wellington being complicated, but this is more insane than i thought.
