  • 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...
    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.

    Something that bought my welly to the next level:
    Put some Islay whisky in the Duxelles. A good glug. Even if you don't like whisky (like my family that love my welly) you'll probably enjoy the smokey peaty flavour it gives it, and the boozeyness will cook off as you cook off all the liquid.

      @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!

    • @interessiertkeinen7227
      @interessiertkeinen7227 5 років тому +59

      @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.

    • @interessiertkeinen7227
      @interessiertkeinen7227 5 років тому +19

      @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

      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.

    • @lanthorn20
      @lanthorn20 5 років тому +3

      @@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)

    • @HanHorlings

    • @mtktm
      @mtktm 5 років тому +6

      @@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.

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.

      What I wonder is whether or not the meat got heated enough in the oven, since it's such a thick cut.

      I too wonder. That said, the meat looks amazing. So tender. I'd just like to know if it reached (at the very minimum) it's cooked temperature.
