Ingredients
  

For the Pastry
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry substitute with gluten-free puff pastry for an inclusive option
For the Filling
  • 1 pound Beef Tenderloin Sirloin works as a more economical alternative
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms Finely chop for a smooth and consistent filling
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard can be omitted or swapped with yellow mustard if preferred
For the Finish
  • 1 large Egg Use a pastry brush for even application, but a paper towel can serve in a pinch

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • pastry brush
  • Knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by finely chopping the mushrooms and sautéing them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until all moisture evaporates. Add in the chopped beef tenderloin and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned but not fully cooked. Remove from heat and mix in a tablespoon of Dijon mustard for an added tangy flavor.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the pastry into squares, approximately 3x3 inches in size. Place a spoonful of the beef-mushroom mixture in the center of each square.
  3. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle shape, pressing the edges to seal tightly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for added security and a decorative touch.
  4. Prepare an egg wash by whisking one egg and brush it generously over the tops of the pastries.
  5. Place the assembled Mini Beef Wellington Bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once preheated, bake the bites for 15-20 minutes or until they puff up nicely and turn a rich golden brown.
  7. After removing the bites from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.

Notes

Refrigerating assembled bites before baking helps the pastry maintain its shape. Avoid overfilling to prevent bursting during cooking.
