  • 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.com/frenchguy
    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.

      @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 лет назад +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 лет назад +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

    Alex, I want you to know how I see you. When I was young and she was old, Julie Child came on TV. I didn't realize what a national treasure she was, only the entertainment value of her. 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. You're a hit, a beautiful, energetic talent who demands more from a world which demands far too little of itself in my opinion. You're a blessing and a warmth during a time when "friendship" is a cold list of screen names.

    hey Alex, many compliments for your channel. i will say that this is very interesting anyway i think that cooking at low tmp may have a side effect: you risk to loose liquid that is something you will need to avoid if you want the fillet remain soft and tender for the same reason you need to be carefull with salt in the first step. what do you think about after your experience? great job!

    Awesome! the doneness of the beef looks incredible! no grey ring at all. I was thinking: since suis vide means the beef will always be perfactly done all the way through, you could maybe get a better beef to pastry ratio by butterflying the beef into more like a flatter rectangle, like a very large steak (more surface area = more pastry.)
