Gordon Ramsay looked like he was making Gordon Tartare recently … ’cause his whole left side had the color of raw meat after a massive bike accident left him with a bruise.

The chef extraordinaire shared a clip to his social media Saturday telling his fans about a recent struggle … turning a bad experience on his bike into a PSA about the importance of wearing a helmet.

GR starts by telling fans — who know he loves to ride his bike — he got into a nasty cycling accident this week that left him in a ton of pain. He says the accident shook him — and he repeats multiple times he’s lucky to be alive.

Gordon shared a ton of thanks to the trauma surgeons who helped him out after the accident before showing fans the injury … and, it ain’t for the faint of heart.

Check out the pic … Gordon’s entire left side is bright purple — beginning around his hip and extending up his ribs.

Gordon also shared before and after pics of his helmet along with the video … and, it’s clear the thing took the brunt of his fall — totally caved in at the front.

BTW … seems like Gordo’s in good spirits about the fall — joking he looks like a “purple potato” in the caption of his post, so clearly his sense of humor’s still intact.

Glad you’re doing well, Gordon … and, wear those helmets people!!!
