Beef wellington is quite simple at its heart: rosy, tender beef fillet; a deeply savoury and earthy mushroom duxelles; peradventure a pancake, or similar, to shield the beef, and well-baked, burnished puff pastry. Madeira sauce; horseradish; possibly some truffle. It's a symbol of celebration, excess, luxury — loosely, stress on loose — tied to 1815, national pride, chirapsia the French at their own culinary game, all things that British restaurants were desperate to practise in the 1980s through early 2000s. Information technology'due south history. Information technology's aristocracy. It's coin.

Given it is now 2021, and two of those three things — excessive beefiness eating, gastronomic excess as the lonely symbol of the gourmet, beingness a bit nationalist — are no longer publicly acceptable, beef wellington looks, honestly, quite weird. Outdated, even. But no: its smaller, more nimble cousins, the pie and the pithivier are deeply en vogue, and this renaissance, combined with a newish emphasis on craft, detail, and intricacy that Instagram really loves, puts a whole new identity on the beef wellington. It'south an it dish, for chefs and kitchens every bit much equally diners, an opportunity to evangelize spectacle.

Ah, the beefiness wellington, a historical dish, a relic of times gone by, a relic of when Gordon Ramsay's main concerns were how latticed his pastry was and how thickly the beef was sliced, and not whether opening a pan-Asian eating house loaded with flattening stereotypes was a proficient idea. The man is obsessed with wellington, truly mad for information technology, and this version — served with horseradish cream and a carmine vino jus, presented on a trolley — is the winner across his portfolio.
