Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington and Pan-Seared Scallop Dish - YouTube videos and recipes

MasterChef US (CTV / Fox) is one of mum's favourite cooking reality shows.  Did you watch it last Wednesday (July 8)?  In this season 6 episode 9,  all the contestants made Gordon Ramsay's signature dish - Beef Wellington.

I was very interested in how Gordon Ramsay usually makes it.  So, I went to his YouTube channel.  Yes, there is a video of it.

Ah Hah !  Chef Ramsay shows us some tricks to make a perfect medium rare Beef Wellington.  But where is the recipe?

As always, I Goggled it.

Blogger Nicole Iizuka posted the recipe.

The beef in the photos of this site doesn't look medium rare to me, though.

By the way, the YouTube video is from Chef Ramsay's Christmas show.

Back to MasterChef US.  At the second half of the show, 6 of the contestants had to cook Gordon Ramsay’s beautifully arranged Pan-Seared Scallop Dish with scallops, quails eggs, pancetta, pea puree and truffle.

Director of MasterChef US really knows how to film and edit the sequence of Chef Ramsay cooking the scallops.  It was so poetic, elegant and pleasant to watch.  Like looking at the best ballet dancer dancing when he cooks.  His cooking montage makes me want to dash to Chef Ramsay's Culinary School to learn how to cook.

This dish's video is harder to search from the net.  This is the one I got.

↑ This is not Gordon Ramsay.
Just in case you don't know how he looks like.

Even though it's the same person cooking the scallops, Chef Ramsay doesn't move as elegant as in the MasterChef US.  Fox, you guys are awesome !  You guys make cooking cool !

I found a recipe online but the ingredients of the recipe and the video are not the same.  Well, we get an idea of how chef Ramsay cooks his scallops, though.


If you found some other videos or recipes for these two dishes, please contact me.  Thanks a lot !


P.S.  One of my friends let me borrow her "Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course".  In the book, there is a "Pan-fried scallops with crunchy apple salad" recipe.  I should start learning his techniques from the book.  Will you want to make his version of the American classic Mac and Cheese?
