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.

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.
@karlp84842 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
