Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into small pieces Ground halal beef can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped Sauté until tender.
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard For flavor enhancement.
  • 1 large egg, beaten Egg wash for a golden finish.
  • Salt and pepper, to taste For seasoning.
For assembly
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed Ensure fully thawed for a flaky texture.
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped mushrooms until tender and moisture has evaporated (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper, then cool slightly.
  3. Season the beef tenderloin pieces with salt and pepper. Sear them in the same skillet until browned on all sides (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 3-inch squares.
Assembly
  1. Place a small dollop of Dijon mustard onto each pastry square.
  2. Top with a spoonful of sautéed mushrooms, followed by a piece of beef.
  3. Fold the pastry over the filling to form pockets and seal edges by pressing down with fingers or a fork.
Baking
  1. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  2. Place the bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Finishing Touch
  1. Let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh thyme or parsley and serve.

Notes

For best results, ensure the mushroom mixture is cool before adding to pastry to prevent sogginess. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze unbaked for longer storage.
