Korina Sanchez on Beef Wellington: “Parang embutido siya”
KORINA SANCHEZ – The veteran broadcaster and TV host gave netizens a good laugh when she compared Gordon Ramsay’s famous Beef Wellington to the Filipino dish embutido.
During a segment on the Bilyonaryo News Channel, Korina described the fancy dish for viewers who may not have had the chance to visit Ramsay’s restaurant at Newport World Resorts.
“Yun ang sinasabi nila na you have to try it. Yung fish and chips kasi British siya, atsaka yung Beef Wellington. Parang embutido siya,” Korina said. Her co-host, Pinky Webb, joked, “Ang sosyal eh tapos sasabihin ‘Parang Embotido ‘yon!’” Korina added, “Karne na halos hindi niluto, duguan pa tapos lalagyan mo ng tinapay, tapos hihiwayin mo. Parang Embutido.”
Netizens were quick to share their thoughts. “To be clear, dinesecribe lang po ang resemblance or APPEARANCE as embutido, but not the TASTE,” one person commented. Another said, “It sounded like hindi masarap kc di nadescribe na masarap, but could also be na hindi lang swak sa panlasang pinoy.”
For comparison, Gordon Ramsay’s signature Beef Wellington at Newport World Resorts costs P3,888, a far cry from the affordable embutido Filipinos know and love.

One of his signature dishes is the Beef Wellington, a classic British delicacy that he has popularized globally. The dish features a tender beef filet coated with a flavorful layer of duxelles (a finely chopped mixture of mushrooms, onions, and herbs), sometimes combined with pâté, wrapped in prosciutto or crêpes, and encased in puff pastry. It is then baked to perfection, ensuring the beef remains juicy and tender, with a golden, flaky crust.
