I ordered GORDON RAMSAY'S SIGNATURE DISH "The Beef Wellington" in VEGAS. WAS IT OVERPRICED ROADKILL?

[@lightwalker9879]

Looked like a a classic beef Wellington to me. Most here spend too much time in a weatherdpoons eating crucified steaks.

[@johnpaul3221]

That beef wellington looked absolutely delicious just the way I like it the flavours all there in my view, the only way to eat it in my opinion so glad we’re not all like same. As for that sticky toffee pudding looked fabulous judging by your reaction it was delicious my score 8.9 +

[@soudley8]

It is printed on the menu - beef wellington served medium rare , stop moaning about it , you knew before ordering.

[@corrinaastley6044]

The blended mushroom is called a duxelle! It is classic with a beef wellington. Rare fillet will not make you ill if it is sealed before finishing off. You can’t have a well done wellington the pastry will be crucified and tough.

[@andrewbutcher9216]

That’s cooked to perfection

[@dazchild]

Many people mistake the red juice coming from beef as blood but it's actually water and protein...

[@JasonYeo-jj3sb]

The beef wellington looks really looks filling and the sticky toffee looks really nice lee

Mushroom and Shallot Duxelles Recipe, the brown stuff on your beef. Recipe for mushroom duxelles produces an intensely flavored sautéed mushroom, shallot, and herb mixture used for beef Wellington.

[@k9killer221]

Everybody knows (except you) that all steak is best cooked medium rare. I know restaurants that just ignore any attempt to order medium or well-done. But it depends on the definition of what is medium-rare, and that's where it gets a bit difficult/subjective.

[@karlp8484]

I've heard top chefs say that there's actually no such thing as medium-rare. It's a rookie definition just to make sure the meat is pink on the inside, which is what they do anyway for medium. Medium-rare doesn't mean there's blood pissing out of the steak. Now, if you order RARE, that's a whole different kettle of fish. There will be blood.

[@BridgetAnderson-j5k]

I guess for a special treat or anniversary dinner you would pay for that and eat in a beautiful restaurant, no screaming children running around , lovely service ❤ great video Lee

[@kennethausten]

Looks wonderful. I could eat that anytime. £50 in some UK restaurants. Wife a retired chef said it's always a Fillet and can cook in a few minutes. You can eat it raw as well. It's that safe

[@dominomc5885]

Beef Wellington are cooked and held in a holding oven until order comes on simple check on wellington out oven garnished and served very simple if your in the industry

[@RobertAddie-q5i]

Maybe a glass of malbec instead of a flat beer may have been more suitable a rare beef fillet?

[@cooperization]

That's a very good portion size.The best "Wellington" i have had is at the Ritz,and the standard is consistent. The Duxelle is always quite strong as Fillet is a very mild flavour. It did looked quite tough to me.I think that has been sat waiting for service.

[@Swy2023]

$83 for that and a few vegetables? What a rip off.

I don't think anyone would wait for a beef wellington to be made from scratch and cooked to order as that would be 45-50 minutes! Medium rare is how beef wellington is cooked unless you part cook the meat before hand.

beef wellington is probably their most popular dish, I imagine they're cooking them all day -- thus why it's quick, they've a few ready at any given time. They didn't cook it in 5 mins.

[@HoratioChinn]

It looked quite nice. You were concerned how quickly it came out ? They know how many beef wellingtons they'll be serving per sitting so they don't need to cook them to order, otherwise you'd be waiting half an hour before you get any food. It's a sign of a well run kitchen.

[@debrakuyatt4682]

Oh my gosh! I'm the outlier (I thought that I was too old to be the rebel!.) I love rare beef, especially Beef Wellington. Usually, I get it once a year at my local grocery store. The meal looked absolutely delicious to me.

[@ayedee6681]

That beef looked perfect. Amazing. Medium rare is the way to go. I shared that entire meal with you. It was delish. I could taste it through my screen. Try medium rare wherever you go. You will be converted 😛

[@Bobbystravels]

Thanks for taking one for the team. I was curious to do this with my son when we visit next month however I eat with my eyes and I know I couldn't eat that meat, no matter how tasty or safe it is. I just couldn't relax and enjoy it and for 82.95, I want my food how I want it. Such a shame but i'm going to look for another food memory. Agreed with regards to the server though, she seemed very professional and knowledgable - obviously highly trained and good on you for leaving the tip 😊

[@j0hnf_uk]

Medium rare meat is ok, in that it has more moisture within it. I used to be of a similar opinion in regard to thinking it was, 'raw', meat, but it is actually cooked sufficiently for you to be able to cut through it easily. If it were raw, you'd know. As for how quickly they brought the order to your table; we can only surmise that, with it being the signature dish, that they've got many dishes ready, in a hot cabinet that are already cooked and waiting. Ridiculous price, of course, but as you say, you're paying for the name, location, etc.

[@michaelryle8516]

Cooked properly if it was cooked longer it would be tough by the way red isn’t blood it’s myoglobin

[@jakenicholls9914]

PS Beef Wellington takes 25/30 minutes to cook, it’s the most popular dish on the menu so they will be going into the oven all the way through service, if you go to a GR restaurant in London it’s usually served for 2 and you have to wait about 45 minutes 👍

[@adw147]

Thanks for the warning Lee , $150 for a beef wellington and a pud , shame on you Gordon 😞

[@dougedwardsyachts]

I think you filled up Gordon’s Aston Martin there. Very glitzy, give me a local independent good value eatery or just a spot of quality home cooking. For special occasions though yeh posh places are great, Gordon is also great entertainment and a signature Michelin Chef so I get the appeal. I stayed with a couple of pals in the Las Vegas Hotel Luxor back in 98. We ate in the basement buffet which was amazing with the most incredible choice. I remember thinking how the Casino hotels competed with grub to get you gambling. We only stayed two nights on our 2500 road trip but it was a great experience. Rent a car (obvs gas not milk float) and take a drive into Death Valley and up on to the Sonora Pass.

[@angelabennett3104]

That didn't look good lee. I don't know how you can justify paying that amount of money for one meal. Most normal working class families can't afford that on a weekly shop. I'm sorry but it just seems you're actually having a laugh here.

If cooked from scratch it would take a few hours it's basically half cooked and finished off for quickness, or you would be legless before you got it.

[@badgebadge8946]

Rested till cold and hard to cut. Sounds top tier.

[@andrewbaron8713]

That’s classic beef wellington with mushrooms, the mushrooms need to be strong.

[@tofty21]

To be honest the beef looked perfectly cooked and as I would’ve expected it to come out. The mushroom duxelles is an integral part of a beef wellington so you can’t have it without. My only criticism would be that it needed extra sauce or sauce béarnaise as an accompaniment.

[@marky147]

That's a new spot, and looked very nicely done. Lovely looking restaurant and Maria was awesome! Will have to go there now, so I can compare the creme fraiche ice cream to the brown butter @ GR Steak.

[@decayintheuk]

my mind instantly defaults to the "what could I buy with that" mode

[@SimonTBam]

Gordon Ramsey uses Palma ham in the recipe I have seen him make for beef wellington. It is usually a fillet of beef, mushroom duxelle and pancakes and shortcrust pastry. I prefer beef rare, but I do not eat pork products, so would not eat his beef wellington. The mushroom has garlic in it, so it is strong. The beef will have had a cooking thermometer pushed into it to make sure it is above the safe temperature to eat. The beef was probably sous vide before it was put in the Wellington.

[@jayoneill1533]

Maybe I’m more of a carnivore than you Mac, but it looked like a true medium rare to me and it looked delicious. What’s the big deal with a reservation? The place looked practically empty.

Gotta say that looked absolutely spot on for a Beef Wellington, looked like it cut pretty well but it's all a personal preference I guess. Good to see the nodding as you enjoyed it. Fillet: rare. Sirloin: medium rare. Ribeye: medium/well. Just sooo expensive!!! But then that's Vegas for you. Don't be scared of rare, it's just the taste hasn't been cooked away. Overprice? For sure... Roadkill? No..

With a proper steak knife, the blade would have just fallen through the filet. That was the one thing even the cheap steakhouses always had.... sharp, HEAVY knives. I miss "The Golden Steer", in Norwood Massachusetts... Family went there almost every week when I was a kiddo..

A drop of gravy and a generous blob of English mustard might have and improved matters!

[@Trevor_Austin]

If you start with good steak, then medium rare is entirely appropriate plus if you don’t like medium rare (and mushrooms and Parma ham) then Beef Wellington is not really for you. That also looked like a good portion size and it looked properly cooked - exactly as described. I would expect to pay what you did in pounds back in the UK.

Stop complaining Lee, it looked delicious , pink is how it should be. I know it's expensive, however KZbin are paying for it. 😊

I’ve eaten at a few of Gordon’s restaurants in Vegas and overall I think they are worth the money for Vegas, although his restaurant in Tahoe was better. The best steak I’ve had in Vegas was at Ruth Chris, it was a rare bone-in filet. I didn’t expect that, but there you go!

[@Vegas_small_timer]

Looks like a real Wellington boot would’ve been easier to cut.

[@allangalloway-ew9ul]

We had this meal at his Hell’s Kitchen and it was the best meal we had on our trip. It looks very rare but it isn’t. melts in your mouth no chewing required. Sadly the price is the going rate for vegas I would say 80 dollars is cheap for a three course meal. He was 30 dollars for a brekkie sandwich and hash brown remember. £2.79 from McDonald’s here.

[@scoutfinch47]

I come from a butchers family in the north east of England. To my father he would be exactly like you, he'd say it was still kicking enough to walk back to the field. He loved his meat, especially roast beef but it was always grey, in my eyes over cooked. Each to their own where it comes to how you like your beef, steak etc. Personally, it has to be medium rare for steak. Really enjoying your videos. Came across them due to watching you with Geoff and your La Mans videos. You've got yourself a subscribed, really like humour and genuine take on life. Cheers Lee.

Come on Lee all beef wellington, roast or steak should always be medium rare🤔🤔

[@wcads623]

@@TheMacMaster Lee that 'welly' was definitely not Blue!! Next time you order a steak ask for it 'blue' and you will be shocked when it arrives barely coloured on the outside let alone anything like cooked inside. The chef will briefly wave it over the griddle then slap it on your plate. By the way on the 'welly' that potato puree did look a bit like baby food. Personally I prefer a bit more texture to my potato sides. Anyway am liking the more varied content inc travelling and food etc. The anti EV content always makes me laugh especially when you get into all those very smug Tesla owners who have been convinced they are saving money and the planet.
