Ingredients
Scale
1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into small cubes
1 package puff pastry, thawed
1 cup finely chopped cremini or button mushrooms
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Flour, for dusting
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, optional
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef cubes with salt and black pepper, then sear for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the skillet and allow to cool.
On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry sheets to approximately 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 3 by 3 inch squares.
On each pastry square, place a small portion of mushroom duxelles, spread Dijon mustard if using, and top with a beef cube. Fold the pastry over and seal the edges securely with a fork.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange assembled bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush tops with beaten egg and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.
