I Tested Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington - Viral Recipes Tested 

"Colder than Bon Appetit's comeback video" HAHAHA

"colder that Bon Apetite's comeback video" BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN

David laughing after saying "meat tube" is just what i needed to have a peaceful sleep.

Everyone is gonna be saying this but David that meat isn't seared. It's gray not brown

The blue/bleached hair is finally gone. Gone but never forgotten.

Ah beef Wellington, a staple of Hell's Kitchen. That show is filled with memes

"Colder than Bon Appetit's comeback video"

Davids family eats so well.

Fun fact, you can't burn mushrooms, so saute away. Mushrooms are 92% water. Happy cooking!

The crepe was the original traditional recipe. Gordo uses prosciutto to make it lighter and more intense and everyone generally agrees its a good idea

No lamb sauce? You had ONE JOB to defeat Gordon

You cant beat the added MSG!! hahah get yourself some Asian market Mushroom Seasoning.... you'll never regret it.

I love how above 50% of all the comments are about Dave's diss on Bon Appetite. I will add to those comments too, good job Davey. 👍

crepes are meant to work as a moisture barrier to further absorb juices from the shroom duxelle and beef, but for the record a thin layer of phyllo dough works better. also, i recommend cranking up the heat on that initial beef sear, as well as patting the beef dry before seasoning to aid in browning (patting dry reduces moisture on the surface, allowing for more caramelization of the exterior rather than a gray skin). lastly, you gotta make sure your mushrooms are bone dry, and if ur even slightly hesitant that you’ve not yet cooked all the liquid out, cook the mushrooms for longer. overall well done, and i love the knife work on the pastry!

the casual bon appetite dis gave me life. also, did you hear sohla works for babish now?

Petition for David to try Alvin¡s 100-Hour Fudgy Brownies I need to know if it is worth it

Since two days ago I’ve gone on a Beef Wellington down spiral, I’ve watched an embarrassing amount of videos about Wellingtons. As I watched horrible quality videos with questionable ingredients all I could think about was wanting to see you do this. Thank you for blessing me 😭

"a nice sear" *Beef looks gray*

So, the liquid overload is likely from a couple of things. 1. The steak wasn't seared enough. You're looking for plenty of brown on the surface but yours still looked a little gray. 2. Your mushrooms weren't reduced enough. They need to be dry enough so that they soak up the steam and juices from the steak. Mushrooms are 92% water so reducing them can take a LONG time. If in doubt, put them in a low oven to gently drive off moisture without burning them in a hot pan. 3. Lack of crepe. The crepe is essentially a porous sponge layer below the pastry which absorbs so much liquid that it basically vanishes in the mouth aside from the flavours of the meat juices and mushroom steam that it has gathered.

"Colder than Bon Appetit's comeback video" Didn't know they were back let me go see something real quick 👀

I am no pro but I have tried several times to make this and here are some tips: Cook the mushrooms more Let them cool completely before flattening them out into the Prosciutto Sear the meat on a WAAAY hotter pan, you want a nice dark brown crust on the outside. (Fire burner never hurts but it is what it is) The meat will still be raw in the center but it will help with the juice at the end Wrap the meet tight in plastic wrap after it rests to room temp (after you just seared it) and put that in the fridge for 20-30 min before you wrap it in the Prosciutto/mush mix Use an electric thermo while it's in the oven to get the purfect temp Yours was cooked but it was on the extra rare side which leads to more juice Ramsay is a great cook and he has great recipes (for pros and beginners) but there is a lot of stuff he skims over. There are also a lot of things you can do to make up for imperfect ingredients as well as a lack of 30+ years of perfecting the recipe

The first year we were dating my boyfriend joked that he wanted me to make a beef wellington, so I made it. Now it's our tradition, and I've definitely gotten better over the years! Happy to see you finally try this monster dish

Sparkling water came out of my nose with that shade at BA 😂

The most satisfying part of this video was learning that David and I cook with the same red copper pans.

When are we gonna a let David have a salad?

For a moment there I was genuinely worried you were making a pumpkin spice beef Wellington.

I was wondering if I could do this, but now I have confidence! Thank you for the video! You are fun to watch, also!

“If Gordon Ramsay said it, I’m going to listen” *Adam Ragusea is typing*

"colder than bon appetit's comeback video" JRBKSJSKSSJOS DAVID STOP KSKHAHA

David: “Recently, I’ve been using a lot of MSG in my foods...” Uncle Roger has entered the chat David: “...but this doesn’t need any.” Uncle Roger has left the chat 😂

You are amazing! Love your videos so much. This one was something. You never forget your first beef Wellington! Great job!

Everyone send gorden Ramsay the photo of the beef Wellington now go go go GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Colder than bob appetite’s comeback video” DAVID THE SHADE. IM SO HERE FOR ITTT

Gordon will be proud. You did well-ington 😁👍

Thank you for the video, helped me with my own beef wellington

Went by your video for Beef wellington. Even had a similar butchering experience. Thank you for making your videos the way you do! Came out amazing, successful anniversary dinner!

From the way he seared the meat i already knew he didn’t have enough technique

You nailed it David, that looks fantastic! And the fact that you found the steps pretty easy speaks *volumes* about how far your cooking skills have come! Give yourself a well deserved pat on the back 😊

Thanks for the inspiration,i learnt a lot from you Support from canada

It's so entertaining to see him react to good food. Everytime without fail.

I could’ve sworn you already done this, I think I’m going insane 😂

David: "Colder than Bon Apetit's comback video" Me: Thats quite a bit of damage

I agree. I made this last week as a test cause I wanted to cook it for Christmas dinner. That shot is really good

i’ve been subscribed to your channel since you made the buzzfeed pizza dip and it’s amazing to see where you are now, your videos are amazing david!!

Great video! Although that “sear” is more reminiscent of a boil lol

Lmfao he said he got a nice sear the whole steak is grey 😂💀

Looks great, especially for a first attempt! Consider this high praise from a trained British chef =) subscribed, keep up the good work!

That looked absolutely amazing. I haven't had beef Wellington in a long, long time, but this might have to be the next big cooking experiment I do.

He gives away the Crêpe recipe in the MasterClass he has, he also uses Dijon mustard in the MasterClass aswell

Love your content, but I had to pause to lol at your BA clap-back. Damn, you are stone cold! Loving it!

Hello David! Great take on Gordon’s dish, Beef Wellington is a classic and I love this version, particularly the lovely golden crust you’ve got on the pastry... Incredible 🥩👌🏻😋

I have been waiting to see your attempt at a beef Wellington, and I’m surprised it turned out so well. Congrats🎉

I was hoping he would make his own puff pastry but then again that is like a three day process so I guess it make sense...still great video🙃

How as this the first cooking video I’ve seen that mentioned BAs terrible terrible “comeback” that’s the equivalent of someone saying I’m not racist I have black friends right after being publicly exposed for treating that friendly terribly and racist. IVE BEEN waiting for hot min to talk abt it

Its great that you test these recipes, too often people have etiher terrible recipes or ones that dont work. Well done

I love how he doesn't talk about drama much, but he makes his opinion very known. Colder then bon appetit's comeback video. Yes king.

You deserve to enjoy this after the last video....

All the years have been preparation for this moment. Cream cheese.

Gordon does the crepe in his master class recipe. I’ve done it before using his recipe with and without and the crepe really helped make sure the puff pastry is not soggy after cooking. But this version is awesome as well!

You made this looks so damn easy. I think I should make this for the holidays.

People we need to send this to Gordon Ramsey! 😱🤭 🥳 Make it known!

the last time I was this early, my parents were driving me to the airport at 7am at 100mph for a 4pm flight

Looks absolutely incredibly delicious! 😍😍😍😍

Hi David! I love your videos so much, and you're such a good cook 💕 Also, I love your halloween background!!

I watched the Big Mac Wellington video today, and then saw this!

oo 15 seconds this is the first time I've seen a video this soon after posting edit: wait did I get the first comment? edit again: nope

YES! I NEEDED THIS!

Some cooks add a layer of filo dough, or a thin crepe, and wrap the assembled meat, mushroom mixture, and pharma ham (Prosciutto) in that FIRST...THEN wrap it all in the puff pastry. Some people don't like their meat as pink as Gordon's recipe calls for, so they cook the finished product just a tad bit longer (but not to burn the pastry! ) The extra layer of thin filo dough helps to prevent the puff pastry from becoming soggy... especially easy for this to happen to the bottom of the wellington. Also, you can sear (sp?) the beef tenderloin in your skillet for a little longer, before you start the assembly process, if you like for your meat to be more of a medium, as opposed to a medium rare. I'm excited to try and make my first beef wellington this Christmas, so I have watched many tutorials on this! Even the chef at one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants used this additional layer of filo dough...or actually i think he made a thin crepe...because the "food critic" wanted his cooked to a medium, and wanted very little pink in his. Anyways, your's looked wonderful, and looks as though your first attempt was a success! Wish me luck on mine, as I'll be spending my week's grocery budget on this one meal, lol! Merry Christmas!

"Colder than Bon Appetite's comeback video" I haven't watched the video yet so idk what that means

Searing means browning buddy, this meat just looks grey after the pan ew

UGH. I LOVE YOUR FACE. Been a little caught up with school so hadn't seen any videos in a while and finally got to see this one today, it looks awesome bro!!

I live right next to TWO Gordon Ramsey restaurants and his food is honestly as good as all the hype. When I tried his Beef Wellington for the first time, I was shooketh.

This is why you SEAR the meat! So its juice stays inside! All that lequid is from the meat not the mushrooms.

damn david, you just gonna upload without giving me a kiss on the lips smh

You dropping the fork was gold 😂

Thanks for testing this out for us

FIRST, I never get to say that.

This guy has no clue lol , the only reason it squirted juice after you cut it was because you didn’t let it rest enough

I'd love to see David do Chef John's (Food Wishes) version of this recipe. His version is a single serving instead of the huge loaf.

Beef Wellington is the BOMB - my all time favorite meal, coupled with steamed broccoli w/ black garlic aeoli sauce, and hot, fresh San Francisco style sour dough french bread, and a glass of Duckhorn Merlot

Wow. I’m thinking I’m gonna make one of my 2021 goals making a beef Wellington

When I made my first beef Wellington I loved it absolutely blasting with flavor

"And colder than Bon Apetit's comeback video." OH SHNAP 😂

1st vid I've seen of yours. Just HAD to subscribe after the 'Colder than Bon Appetit's comeback video' comment 😂

I'm making this today myself, but subbing bison sirloin roast for beef tenderloin. Can't wait!

I've never seen someone throw a fork from something being so good 🤣🤣🤣 dayyuuummmmm

That looks amazing!

AWESOME! You nailed it! I guess the Big Mac Twisted recipe was good practice for the big league! 😂😂💪🏽💪🏽

Congrats on the shout-out on Sam the Cooking Guy, and for winning his cookbook that comes out on my birthday!!!

YES DAVID. HALLOWEEN VIBES I LIKE IT.

LMAO he threw the fork on the ground THAT MADE MY DAY BAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

Watching David prepare food while not having any food in the house because my dumbass didn't go grocery shopping before the shops closed is very hard. I'm soooo hungry.

We make this every Christmas but we put some cooked down onions and cooking sherry in the mushroom mix. It’s a game changer!

These vids always help me fall asleep 😂😴

I want the put this in my mouth so bad 😮 GREAT JOB DAVID!!!

just a tip for the future, if you're processing stuff like mushrooms or cauli, do it in batches, that way you can get all of it chopped without worrying about paste at the bottom and whole mushrooms at the top, pulse a good amount at a time and take it out and repeat until it's all processed

You finally did it!!! Thank you😭.

I watch a lot of videos like this, and I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a “throw down the utensil and walk off” reaction to a dish sampling 😂

Ok. I will try the same beef. Your phenomenal expression explains it all.. I tried his turkey this Christmas. I will say that is the best 1st time turkey I've ever made.. bloody hell that guy Is A god!!!

Yoooo, you did an amazing job man!
