Ingredients
Beef Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef Tenderloin, cut into small, bite-sized pieces
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 beaten Egg, for egg wash
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black Pepper
Mushroom Mixture
- 1 cup Mushrooms, finely chopped (button or cremini)
- 2 Shallots, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Butter, for sautéing
- 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme
Pastry
- 1 sheet Puff Pastry, store-bought, thawed
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the beef tenderloin pieces generously with salt and pepper. Sear them in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. Set aside to cool.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and thyme. Cook until golden brown and most moisture evaporates (about 8-10 minutes). Season with salt and pepper, then let cool.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry and cut it into squares (about 3x3 inches).
Assembly
- Place a small spoonful of the mushroom mixture in the center of each pastry square. Top with a piece of seared beef and a thin layer of Dijon mustard. Fold the corners of the pastry up and seal tightly.
- Place the assembled bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Baking
- Brush each piece with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, shiny finish. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the bites for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffy.
- Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor!
Notes
These bites are best served warm as appetizers. They pair well with red wine or various dips. You can store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
