WINNING HOST, AND ONE OF THE BEST-SELLING COOKBOOK AUTHORS OF

ALL-TIME.

HIS LATEST BOOK, "SEVEN WAYS: EASY IDEAS FOR EVERY DAY OF

THE WEEK" IS IN STORES NOW.

PLEASE WELCOME, THE ALWAYS CHARMING, JAMIE OLIVER.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) JAMIE, I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE

HERE ON THE SHOW.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS WITH YOU, AND HOW'S IT GOING?

HOW IS IT BACK THERE IN LONDON?

HOW IS THE FAMILY?

>> IT STARTED TO SNOW, THE FAMILY ARE GOOD, EVERYONE'S FED,

THE KIDS ARE IN BED, AND NOW IT'S JUST ME AND YOU, BROTHER,

COOKING THE BEST DISH IN THE WORLD.

>> James: WELL, I BELIEVE IT'S THE BEST DISH IN THE WORLD, BUT

THIS IS NOT THAT FAMILIAR TO AMERICANS.

TELL EVERYBODY WHAT WE'RE COOKING TODAY, JAMIE.

>> THIS IS BEEF WELLINGTON.

THIS IS FILET OF BEEF.

WE'LL HAVE IT WITH INCREDIBLE MUSHROOMS INSIDE, PUFF PAY

INDUSTRY, GRAVY, COMFORT FOOD AT ITS BEST AND THE KEY IS TO COOK

IT SO THE MEAT IS BLUSHING AND JUICY.

>> James: I'M AMAZED THIS ISN'T THE THING IN AMERICA.

IT CONTAINS AMERICA'S FAVORITE FOOD GROUPS, MEAT AND

PASTRY.

WHERE DO WE START, JAMIE?

>> WE WANT TO BREAK IT DOWN, MAKE IT SIMPLE.

WE'LL DO IT NOT FOR 12 PEOPLE, BUT FOR TWO PEOPLE.

FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE.

DON'T WASTE IT ON OTHER PEOPLE, JUST ONE PERSON.

I HAVE AN EIGHT-OUNCE STEAK SEASONED WITH SALT AND PEPPER,

RUBBED WITH A NICE BIT OF OLIVE OIL, AND THAT GOES INTO A HOT

PAN FOR 30 SECONDS ON ALL SIDES.

GET IT NICE AND GOLDEN.

>> James: SO SEAR IT ON ALL SIDES.

>> YES, AND MOVE THAT STEAK AROUND, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL

THE HEAT.

THE SECOND PART OF THE DISH IS MUSHROOMS.

USE ANY ONES YOU LIKE.

WE HAVE RED ONION, SOME THYME.

I'LL FRY THOSE OFF IN A LITTLE OLIVE OIL, SALT AND PETTER.

WE CHOP IT UP AND MAKE THIS MUSHROOM PA AT A.

THIS GIVES IT SUCH DEPTH OF FLAVOR.

>> James: YOU FRY IT BEFORE YOU CHOP IT UP?

>> YEAH, JUST FOR ABOUT FOUR MINUTES, COOK IT UP NICE.

WE'LL WHIZ IT INTO A LITTLE PA AT A, SUPER SIMPLE.

NOW THE NEXT BIT IS A PANCAKE, I KNOW YOU LOVE A PANCAKE, BUT

THIS IS THE SIMPLEST RECIPE EVER.

ONE EGG, ONE MUG OF WATER, ONE MUG OF PLAIN FLOUR AND 100 GRAMS

OF SPINACH.

PUT THAT IN A LIQUIDIZER, WHIZ IT UP, AND YOU MAKE AN

INCREDIBLE GREEN PANCAKE.

YOU COOK THEM ON ONE SIDE FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE, AND YOU'VE GOT

ONE IN FRONT OF YOU HERE.

YOU HAVE A NICE STEAK.

YOU HAVE NICE COLOR.

>> James: I HAVE COLOR COMING HERE, BABY, DON'T YOU WORRY.

>> WE DON'T WANT TO COOK THE STEAK, JUST SEAR IT, AND THEN DO

THE SIDES AS WELL.

>> James: I EITHER OVERDO IT OR UNDER DO IT.

WHAT'S YOUR TIP IF YOU'RE GENUINELY COOKING A STEAK?

>> FOR ME, PERSONALLY, IF YOU JUST GET YOUR FOREFINGER AND

YOUR THUMB AND FEEL LOU THAT FEELS THERE IN THE MIDDLE.

>> James: IN THERE.

THAT'S BASICALLY YOUR MEDIUM RARE.

IF YOU DO YOUR THIRD FINGER, MEDIUM, WELL DONE AS YOU GO DOWN

THE FINGERS.

IT'S THE SAME FEELING.

IT'S A REALLY GOOD WAY TO DO IT.

SO, JAMES, TAKE THAT STEAK OUT AND LET IT REST A SECOND.

>> James: OKAY.

WE'LL GO TO THE PANCAKE AND TAKE THIS BEAUTIFUL MUSHROOM PA

AT A, RUB IT LIKE THAT.

>> James: LOU DID YOU GET THE MOISTURE OUT OF THESE MUSHROOMS.

>> YOU COOK IT OUT.

>> James: RIGHT.

ONCE IT'S BEEN ABOUT FOUR MINUTE AND YOU SEASON IT WITH

SALT AND PEPPER, PUT IT IN A FOOD PROCESSOR OR USE A KNIFE

AND BLEND IT TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL PA AT A.

WE LET THE STEAK COOL DOWN AND WE PLACE IT ON TOP.

>> James: OKAY.

THE NEXT BIT COULD NOT BE EASIER.

WE'LL TAKE ONE CORNER OF THE PLASTIC.

>> James: FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE EASIER, ALREADY.

>> BRING THE FOUR CORNERS UP LIKE THAT.

BE CAN -- BE CONFIDENT AND THEND IT UP.

>> James: YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY.

>> YOU ARE GOING TO BE JUST FIND.

UNWIND THE PLASTIC.

PUSH THAT BACK TOGETHER.

YOU'VE DONE IT.

TAKE THAT PLASTIC OFF, AND THEN WE'VE GOT IT PROTECTED LIKE

THIS, RIGHT.

>> James: DO WE?

WE'LL PLACE THAT ON THE PASTRY

>> James: DOESN'T FEEL THAT PROTECTED OVER HERE, BUT YOU

KEEP GOING.

>> WRAP IT UP, TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN, PLEASE DON'T WORRY.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE CONFIDENCE, BROTHER.

>> James: AND PLACE IT ON THE PAY INDUSTRY.

>> ON THE PAY INDUSTRY.

FOR EVERYONE THIS IS PRE-BOUGHT PUFF PAY INDUSTRY.

THIS COMES FROM THE SUPERMARKET, ALREADY ROLLED OUT.

NOW WE GET THE BRUSH AND THE EGG WASH AND WE'RE GOING TO BRUSH

AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE PAY INDUSTRY.

>> James: OKAY.

WHAT WE DO ONCE YOU'VE EGG WASHED IT IS TAKE THE OTHER BIT

OF PAY INDUSTRY AND PUT IT ON TOP.

BE CONFIDENT, DON'T BE STRESSY.

>> James: I'M NOT ALL STRESSY, BABE.

I'M ALL ON.

I'M AT MY MOST CONFIDENT AT THIS MOMENT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE,

ACTUALLY.

>> THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

LET IT SAG IN.

TUCK THE STEAK IN AROUND THE EDGES.

YOU CAN KIND OF MODEL IT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT BEING ROUGH AND READY, IT'S GOING TO BE

BEAUTIFUL.

AT THIS STAGE GET YOUR LITTLE CUTTER AND PUT IT ON THE MIDDLE,

PUSH IT RIGHT DEEP DOWN.

AT HOME I WOULD LEAVE THE CRUST ON BECAUSE MY WIFE LOVES THE

CRUSTY BIT OR YOU COULD USE A KNIFE.

WE'LL TAKE THAT LITTLE MODEL OFF.

I WANT YOU TO FINISH IT OFF AND MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL.

GET A LITTLE PORK TO AND I WANT YOU TO PUNCH AROUND THE I THINKS

LIKE THIS.

HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.

>> James: OKAY, I AM RIGHT HERE WITH YOU, BROTHER.

THIS IS FANTASTIC.

>> THIS IS A SPECIAL DISH.

IT'S SOMETHING TO GET EXCITED ABOUT, IT'S SPECIAL OCCASIONS

AND WE'VE MADE IT INTO THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER.

>> James: IF I TAKE THIS HOME TO MY WIFE SHE WON'T AGREE.

BUT GO ON.

>> IS SHE VEGETARIAN?

>> James: NO, SHE WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IF I BROUGHT HOME

ANY DISH FROM WORK.

IT'S NOT ON YOU.

( LAUGHTER ) >> WE'RE GOING TO COOK THIS,

VERY IMPORTANTLY, FOR 25 MINUTES AT 425 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

THIS GOES INTO THE OVEN.

WE PUT IT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OVEN, AND NOW IS THE BIT THAT

YOU WANT, JAMES.

>> James: LOOK.

COME ON, NOW.

>> HERE IS THE ONE THAT YOU'VE COOKED.

THAT'S IT.

( APPLAUSE ) NOW GET YOUR BIG CHOPPER, JAMES,

AND I WANT YOU TO NICELY CUT THIS IN HALF AND SHOW THE

AUDIENCE HOW BEAUTIFULLY YOU'VE COOKED THIS STEAK.

>> James: I THINK THEY KNOW I DIDN'T COOK IT.

BUT LOOK AT THAT, GANG!

I'VE GOT TO SAY, I DISAGREE.

YOU STARTED THIS BY SAYING THIS IS A MEAL FOR TWO.

I'M THINKING WHAT IS THE OTHER PERSON EATING?

>> WE'VE GOT VEGS TO GO WITH IT.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE VEG?

>> James: JAMIE'S BAKED WHITE WINE CARROTS.

THE BEST CARROTS KNOWN TO MAN.

I'VE GOT SOME HERE.

LOOK A THIS.

>> POUR OVER THAT BEAUTIFUL GRAVY.

A LITTLE GLASS OF WINE.

SOME ROMANTIC MUSIC.

>> James: LOOK AT THAT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, JAMIE OLIVER,

COOKING A DISH AMERICA SHOULD EMBRACE.

BLESS YOU, JAMIE.

YOU ARE THE GREATEST.
