About Beef Wellington
Gordon Ramsay’s Beef Wellington encloses beef fillet in mushroom duxelle, Parma ham and puff pastry. This published Ultimate Cookery Course version includes a separate red-wine sauce made with beef trimmings and stock.
Beef and ham supply savoury richness, while mushrooms and thyme form an aromatic layer. The sauce combines shallots, black pepper, bay and thyme with wine and wine vinegar.
Golden pastry surrounds the evenly wrapped fillet and mushroom paste. The finished parcels are sliced, showing the layered filling, with the strained red-wine sauce served alongside.
