I tried to focus on his story, but my eyes kept seeing his hands chopping the mushrooms beautifully and effortlessly. Honestly, it took me 5 minutes just to peel and chop garlic.😅
gaby. riela: my eyes were watching the fire on the stove, amazed that he was so nonchanlant about the whole thing. I know... he's done it a 1000 times and nothing burned down.
put it on a flat surface and press, slightly crushing it - it with a knife. Skin comes right off. Use your fingers to guide the knife (you shouldn't rely on your eyes). If you really want to become 'good', just chop dozens of onions. It's how these chefs learn it, when they first start out: ''chop these onions". Such places work in bulk and practice makes perfect, especially when done repeatedly in a short time. It used to take me long too, I was too focused on the actual knife and applying pressure in the wrong way, without really slicing enough (too much downward pressure). And I didn't use my other hand to guide the knife, I just used the cutting hand to move it after each slice. Bla, bla. One more tip: I use a meat cleaver for the garlic and when I need it chopped, I rather just do the same trick again: put it on a flat surface (now without peel) put the blade on top and slam my fist upon the blade with great fury. Instant garlic puree within seconds. Practice ;)
Yeah, I was mesmerized by his mushroom cutting as well. For garlic, just slice off the root and then press with the side of your blade and the peel comes right off.
I'm surprised to not find anybody that transcripted the recipe here. Here it goes as I was able to catch it: Ingredients: 6 mushrooms 2 beef tenderloin steak medallions 5-6? potatoes, enough for mashed potatoes 2-3? parsnips, to add to the mashed potatoes 1 stick of butter 1 & 1/2 cups of cream (optional) about a quarter onion chopped 1~ 1 & 1/2 cup of whiskey ~1 cup of meat broth (?) Preparation: - Mashed potatoes a. After cooking and chopping the parsnip and potatoes, mash both separated. b. Add aprox 20g of butter to the mashed potatoes and around 1/2 cup of cream to the parsnip c. Mix both the parsnip and potatoes together, add salt to discretion and store for later 1. Chop the mushrooms into medium thin slices, keep for later 2. Season the medallions using salt and pepper, keep for later 3. In a heated pan put some cooking oil followed by ~10 grams of butter. Place the medallions in the pan and sear properly. 4. Cook the steaks to medium rare as god intends. Please, respect the cow that gave its life for this beautiful steak. 5. After cooked to medium rare, remove the steaks and let them rest in a plate. Keep the juices in the pan. - Sauce 6a. In the pan you just cooked the steak, add 10g of butter and mix with the juices 6b. Add (or not) the chopped onion 6c. Add the mushrooms and mix in the fire for a couple of minutes 6d. Add the whiskey and mix, "Ooh fire!" 6e. Add around a cup of cream 6f. Add...meat broth? 6g. Reduce until a dense consistency is achieved 7. Add the steaks back to the pan with the sauce and mix it. Let it sit while you plate the mashed potatoes 8. Plate! A big spoon of mashed potatoes as bed, one steak on top. And baby carrots as a garnish 9. Enjoy your beautiful medium rare steak!!!!!!! And sauce. Also, side note. Delish, or chef Darren. Please don't sue me if somehow I am infringing some copyright by writing this down. I am doing it for fun and to maybe help someone get creative in the kitchen :). EDIT: I tried it at home and a big observation to make is *go hard on the salt* The Sauce can be a bit too bland so compensate by making the mashed potatoes slightly salty. Also, damn that sauce is good.
@@auston781: Exactly. Although she has authority over you, and should be respected, I will never bow down to a another human being. I'll just treat her as if she was my Gran. Give some sense of humanity at least.

I agree. Wonder why no one has offered him a television series here he just prepares Royal Favorite Recipes. Sounds like a winner to me, especially with this man's personality and storytelling talents.
Gordon would probably lose. Not because he's bad, but it looks like the Queen has a very restricted and frankly boring palate and that limited palate would probably backfire.
Yea I noticed it too, it was surprising especially since it wasn't a flambe, he just put in regular butter on a hot pan. I always thought it's not good to have butter burn like that but he didn't seem to mind.
Like, I get that the queen is super busy, but I don't think I could have the same person making all of my meals for years without meeting them, ya know?
It's really interesting hearing about how the Queen is relatively traditional in her food choices, but Prince Phillip is more adventurous and loves to try new things.
In Gordon's defense. He grew up in a home with an alcoholic father who was abusive towards the mother whom Gordon adored. Whilst he is very soft-hearted & shocked that he is perceived as being "aggressive", he said, as a child & teen he couldn't protect his mother, his voice being the only thing he could use to defend her.
The queen knows....it's not what you eat, it is how much you eat and getting exercise, even if it's walking with her dogs.....that is the secret to a long life.
I approve wholeheartedly of the Queen's choice - especially venison which is much underrated and sadly not as widely available as it should be. Darren relates enjoyable anecdotes but remains respectful which is all one can ask for. Whatever one thinks of there being a monarchy, on the whole most of the Royal Family seem to be nice people to work for.
This is my fave, as well. Using cognac. Lovely deep sear on the beef, but medium to medium rare. It’s the sear and the sauce here. Boeuf Tournedos is akin, using tarragon in a Bernaise instead, and served on crispy fried in butter, thin bread rounds, the size of the tenderloin and placed under it. Delicious! RIP to Her Majesty, the Queen. And thanks for this happy little video.
The Queen is said to like her steak well done because she can't risk catching an illness from undercooked food. This is the same reason she has water brought with her on all of her trips so she doesn't risk catching something in the water that could cause an illness. She makes a great deal of public appearances every year, she does not like to cancel events and these are some of the ways she tries to avoid stomach distress and undercooked food related issues. It makes perfect sense for her and that is really all that matters.
@wolfaesthetic she is the queen of the United Kingdom, so yes she is. Not only that, it's far more likely to catch an illness from pinker meat at such an old age.
If they make a fancy cake with cream and real chocolate in it they can’t just throw it out all the time that would be wasteful and cakes in a fridge last 2-3 days
He’s talking about the Queen and working at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, discussing the foods from the estate. The wording on the screen pops up and says Gaelic is spoken in “Ireland”. 😂 Gaelic is also spoken in Scotland of course and we have whisky too! 🥃🏴
Hongo Dongo They are. It’s Scots Ga-lick and Irish Gay-lick. It just seems odd that they refer to the Irish Gaelic when the chef is specifically talking about the Queen’s residence in Scotland and food grown and prepared in Scotland.
The queen not meeting her chef and princess Diana literally making the chef coffee speaks VOLUMES to how different and amazing Diana was compared to the other Royals!
So he cooked for the queen but never really met her. What a difference to prince Albert of Monaco that personally goes down to the kitchen to discuss menus with his chef Christian Garcia.
What an amazing career this man had. What a gorgeous meal. I cannot imagine what it would be like to have that sort of food every day. How fabulous. I love listening to him tell stories.💖
The Queen doesn’t eat garlic so her breath won’t be offensive to family, guests or staff. When you’re young, you like seeing a bit of pink with your meat, but when you’re older, you’ve been warned of becoming I’ll unless it’s cooked all the way thru 🤷🏻♀️
Imagine working directly for someone for 15 years and them never even bothering to say hello to you. I get that she probably has a lot of employees, but this is the guy that makes her food.
The Queen liking her steak well-done...how we feel?

Me: pan sizzles one bit I think my whole house is going to blow up
When you've flambéed a sauce as often as he must have, you know what it's going to do when.
Because there isnt anything flammable and is used to it
Hailey Light hall lebay njin
That is probably the difference between an Amateur Chef and a Royal Chef
Yea I noticed it too, it was surprising especially since it wasn't a flambe, he just put in regular butter on a hot pan. I always thought it's not good to have butter burn like that but he didn't seem to mind.
The part about him running from the corgis is a FULL mood.
I'd be all like "Yeet!"
True. I actually laughed when he told it 😂 who needs bodyguards when you have 12 gorgis 🙈
In what way a 'mood', exactly!?
Attacked by corgis is the funniest shit ever, out of all the dogs this must be the second most humiliating, right after dachshund
As a corgi owner I can confirm that if my sweetheart ever decided to attack me he would tear me up
mahchymk93 pug?
Egemen Efe no. They are ferocious
Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth II
I feel sorry for anyone in the royal family who might be lactose intolerant.
I'm sure they would be accommodated.
I feel sorry for anyone that's lactose intolerant
@@doaa7941 imagine not being able to comfortably eat cheese
As a person that’s lactose intolerant we dont give a shit we will eat a whole block of cheese for fun
Isabel Crow but you do... give a shit 😂
When he said chocolate cake I thought it was what he was placing in the pan lol
Shreyas Bhatt Lol me too
Who doesn't?
What a gem of a man.
He should have his own cooking show!!!
Such a humble man.
He does...
Imagine being able to say the queen's corgis chased you and she laughed at you for running from them;; like just imagine
Good story to tell, that's what i say, just imagine durring family dinnner's, just telling everyone your strange story hehe
Imagine her saying of with his head.
Am I the only one who just thinks she’s a human
It's not the crazy of a story, she's just a person, who's lucky enough that an ancient tradition still goes in today, that gives her all that wealth.
saturn *:・゚ jjong ❤️
Like, I get that the queen is super busy, but I don't think I could have the same person making all of my meals for years without meeting them, ya know?
Yeah exactly.
I know...I heard she gives all the staff a gift at Christmas.;In person ! but that would be in Sandringham..
that’s royalty for you. they think they are better than everybodyz
Is she really all that busy?
@@TheBynirn 4,000 engagements a year.
Him: I met the queen Also him: I ran away
It's really interesting hearing about how the Queen is relatively traditional in her food choices, but Prince Phillip is more adventurous and loves to try new things.
"Did....did the queen just sic her corgies at me??"
Not only that, she then laughed psychotically as they ravaged him.
Christopher Metcalf Looks it!
bisholia ROTFFLMAO 😂🤣
This guy is the calm equivalent of Gordon Ramsay
NitrøFøx This comment is very underrated.
How?
NitrøFøx just because he’s british? i’m confused..
But......
ITS FUCKING RAW
In Gordon's defense. He grew up in a home with an alcoholic father who was abusive towards the mother whom Gordon adored. Whilst he is very soft-hearted & shocked that he is perceived as being "aggressive", he said, as a child & teen he couldn't protect his mother, his voice being the only thing he could use to defend her.
Major Takeaway: When you are Queen, calories don't matter. Well Done. Well Done. Right there with you
The queen knows....it's not what you eat, it is how much you eat and getting exercise, even if it's walking with her dogs.....that is the secret to a long life.
What an enthusiastic guy! That’s the sweetest story of him almost meeting the queen 🥰
This royal Chef seems so humble and kind and nice.
This guy is ROYALLY impressive! My family all likes their steak well done too. It hurts me to do it, but I love them!
Well done is the only right way to prepare steak. I refuse to have my mind changed😭
@@njdevils9236 lol I remember that one, love King of the Hill.
I approve wholeheartedly of the Queen's choice - especially venison which is much underrated and sadly not as widely available as it should be. Darren relates enjoyable anecdotes but remains respectful which is all one can ask for. Whatever one thinks of there being a monarchy, on the whole most of the Royal Family seem to be nice people to work for.
8:00
Gordan Ramsey: "IT'S RAW!!!"
The Queen: "It is perfect"
Ramsey: "It is perfect"
But she likes it well done.
Ob Populi It’s RAMSAY! Sick and tired of people calling him ramsey! WTF!
@@The_Beast_666 It orginates from my own conversation with the Queen.
Me (an intellectual): Ramsay
The Queen: Ramsey
Me: Ramsey
Ob Populi LOL your dumb
French Curve 😂🤣
Glad to see a person that is on top with rich powerful people still be so humble n kind.
I liked this. Respectful but storytelling.
i love how calm and casual he was as the pan just caught fire
Ahahahahaha... I can just picture it: you running across a field, a pack of Corgis nipping at your feet, while the Queen laughs!
While the queens shouting 'sick 'em'!!
This man is a natural. Spoke nonstop for 8 mins seems like he could gone on for another hour
Chef: “The queen likes her steak well done”
Me: “kind of weird but whatever”
Chef: “the queen dislikes garlic”
Me: *loads shotgun*
Me: *Starts sharpening wood and gets holy water nerf guns and hanging chains of garlic

Yee haw Guy this one is anyway
CyberOstrich _ yes MI5. This is the comment here
TREASON!!!!
Fascinating yet quite respectful of Her Maj.
The way he cuts the mushrooms is satisfying
but with a boning knife?! I'm confused🤯
@@bugsygooI guess you are free to bend the rules when you master them!
hes so calm when everything is on fire
This guy has a ton of stories an I'd love to sit down and hear them all
neo 71665 same!
Same here
Rather watch gravity again
Esoecially about the sacrificial parties
This is my fave, as well. Using cognac. Lovely deep sear on the beef, but medium to medium rare. It’s the sear and the sauce here. Boeuf Tournedos is akin, using tarragon in a Bernaise instead, and served on crispy fried in butter, thin bread rounds, the size of the tenderloin and placed under it. Delicious!
RIP to Her Majesty, the Queen. And thanks for this happy little video.
One of my culinary teachers cooked for the queen, he was/is a great chef. It was a privilege to learn from him. Really cared about his work.
This was much more interesting than it had any right to be.
I really enjoyed listening to this guy. Time flew by so quickly. His actions and storied were mesmerizing
I Love this story of how he just decided, to apply and then got the job, it really pleased me to listen to everything.
The Queen is said to like her steak well done because she can't risk catching an illness from undercooked food. This is the same reason she has water brought with her on all of her trips so she doesn't risk catching something in the water that could cause an illness. She makes a great deal of public appearances every year, she does not like to cancel events and these are some of the ways she tries to avoid stomach distress and undercooked food related issues. It makes perfect sense for her and that is really all that matters.
Great observation!
@wolfaesthetic she is the queen of the United Kingdom, so yes she is.
Not only that, it's far more likely to catch an illness from pinker meat at such an old age.
@@atillacoskun7825 yes
I could listen to this man for hours he's such a good story teller
The Queen dislikes garlic, and she likes her steak well done..... I'm not impressed.
Off with your head!!!
Excellent reference
It's not so much that she doesn't like garlic, but she meets lots of people every day and she doesn't want her breath to smell.
I am impressed can't stand garlic either it's horrific.
@@sandrascott5299 It's okay to be wrong.
He is a natural on camera - I could listen to him all day
4:40 never thought the queen would eat leftover cake I’d think they’d bake a fresh cake for her everyday
amal zuhair he never said it was left over cake
Michael Gary Scott watch it again.
If they make a fancy cake with cream and real chocolate in it they can’t just throw it out all the time that would be wasteful and cakes in a fridge last 2-3 days
She hates waste in any form.
Not necessarily cause he said she would wait till next day which doesn’t technically mean tmr
She's never met her chef and laughed when her dogs tried to Chase him. Sounds nice.
I don’t think it was intentional I think she just found it funny..
"...and laughed when her dogs tried to Chase him."
And laughed when *he* ran away from some little dogs.
@@seikibrian8641 "12 Corgis", that's a lot of dogs lol
@@stfuna4b I'm sure they were pretty well trained. They're not going to maul him.
@@psyffee3755 A mauling by 12 corgis would um.... Definitely be interesting.
He’s talking about the Queen and working at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, discussing the foods from the estate. The wording on the screen pops up and says Gaelic is spoken in “Ireland”. 😂
Gaelic is also spoken in Scotland of course and we have whisky too! 🥃🏴
Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic are different languages, aren't they? Mutually intelligible is how I had it described.
Hongo Dongo They are. It’s Scots Ga-lick and Irish Gay-lick. It just seems odd that they refer to the Irish Gaelic when the chef is specifically talking about the Queen’s residence in Scotland and food grown and prepared in Scotland.
Yeah odd as here in Scotland we don't refer to Scots Gaelic as that we just call it Gaelic as we already know who and where we are.
Please make a movie out of this man's life, I'd watch it twice in a row
The queen not meeting her chef and princess Diana literally making the chef coffee speaks VOLUMES to how different and amazing Diana was compared to the other Royals!
That’s why they had her murdered
well the Queen had been under strict protocols all her life, Diana wasn't
don't think that's comparable
Watch his other video. Price Phillip cooked all the time and for the staff.
Lol you cant compare the queen to Diana, they’re protocols are so different she probably wasn’t even allowed to make coffee for other people
I could watch this stuff all day long. Love it.
The Queen likes Jamaican dishes. 2 of her favorite jamaican dishes are ackee with salted codfish and pepper pot soup. Two Jamaican classic dishes.
Nice.
Who told u that
Stewy 1156 my mom is Jamaican & the queen actually came to her school as a child in Jamaica and she got to meet her
Well she knows how bad British food is so she sticks to better cuisines 😂
@rockster10101 who is a slave again?
I'd live in his kitchen watching and listening, he's precious protect him at all costs
He needs his own UA-cam channel
Not need
@@Voornaz he got he’s own channel
I really like his stories, they're rather amusing.
Removed by The Queen
TheNinthUmbrella Youre not wrong by your first statement 👌🏽
What part? The flesh or the adrenochrome?
How does she stay so slim eating mostly delicious creamy potatoes and lucious cakes??? Not fair??
Meine Zehne tuen weh!!!
I enjoy Darren McGrady. He has a wonderful way to tell stories.
So he cooked for the queen but never really met her. What a difference to prince Albert of Monaco that personally goes down to the kitchen to discuss menus with his chef Christian Garcia.
He said he met her at the ball later where all the staff are invited.
Not the queen of india australia Canada anymore
sreeparna roy
Yep she is
@@sreeparnaroy6372 formality, she is. Both Australia and Canada are her majesty governments but of course they are both just ceremonial.
What an amazing career this man had. What a gorgeous meal. I cannot imagine what it would be like to have that sort of food every day. How fabulous. I love listening to him tell stories.💖
The Queen doesn’t eat garlic so her breath won’t be offensive to family, guests or staff. When you’re young, you like seeing a bit of pink with your meat, but when you’re older, you’ve been warned of becoming I’ll unless it’s cooked all the way thru 🤷🏻♀️
Its just steak and mash. No big deal.
Imagine working directly for someone for 15 years and them never even bothering to say hello to you.
I get that she probably has a lot of employees, but this is the guy that makes her food.
Love, Love, Love to watch Chef McGrady work.. and listen to the stories! What an amazing life and career!
