Ingredients
Scale
1 lb (450 g) beef tenderloin
8 oz (225 g) cremini mushrooms
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 sheet puff pastry
2 tbsp olive oil
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add 8 oz finely chopped cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Remove mushrooms from skillet and set aside to cool.
In the same skillet, add 1 lb beef tenderloin cubes, seasoned with salt and pepper.
Sear the beef for 3-4 minutes until browned on all sides but not fully cooked.
Combine beef and mushrooms in a bowl, then mix in 1 tbsp Dijon mustard.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) while the filling cools.
Roll out thawed puff pastry to 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface.
Cut the pastry into 3×3 inch squares for bite-sized pieces.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each pastry square.
Fold corners over the filling and pinch edges to seal tightly.
Brush tops with a beaten egg and place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
