Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington
Description
The recipe won't take much time. According to Ramsay's original recipe, the beef turns out medium rare, which isn't to everyone's taste. That's why I cook the meat thoroughly, which my family and I prefer. I'll definitely explain both options in the recipe! Serve hot.

Step 3
Sear the meat over high heat in olive oil on both sides, about 2 minutes per side! It should develop a golden-brown crust, but the inside will not be fully cooked yet. Remove the meat from the pan and immediately brush it with mustard.

Cut the mushrooms into pieces, season with salt and pepper, then blend with a blender. Transfer the mushroom pâté to a dry skillet without oil and cook the mushrooms until all the liquid has evaporated. Approximately 7-10 minutes.

While the meat is resting, roll out the dough into a square sheet on a floured surface. After 20 minutes, remove the meat from the plastic wrap and place it in the center of the dough. Generously brush the dough edges around the meat with yolk.

Step 11
Now, about baking! According to Ramsay's recipe, place everything in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. By this time, the dough will be fully cooked, and the meat will be medium rare, with some blood. If, like me, you don't enjoy that, cover the dish tightly with foil, reduce the oven temperature to 150-160 degrees Celsius, and bake for another hour! Then the meat will be completely cooked through!
