Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin cut into cubes
  • 2 sheets puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme or rosemary
  • 1 egg beaten for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels, then season them lightly with salt and pepper to build strong savory base flavor.
  • Heat oil in a pan and sear beef cubes briefly, browning sides while keeping centers pink and juicy for baking.
  • Remove beef onto a plate to cool, because hot meat will melt pastry early and ruin shape or flaky layers.
  • In the same pan cook butter, onion, garlic and mushrooms slowly, letting moisture evaporate to make thick flavorful filling.
  • Stir herbs and a little salt into mushrooms, then cool mixture fully so steam does not soften prepared puff pastry.
  • Cut puff pastry into small squares, large enough to hold beef cube and spoon of mushroom mixture comfortably inside.
  • Brush top of each beef cube lightly with Dijon mustard, adding gentle tang that balances rich meat and buttery pastry.
  • Place mushroom mixture on pastry square, set beef cube on top, then fold corners tightly sealing edges to prevent leaks.
  • Brush each wrapped bite with beaten egg wash for glossy golden color, then place on parchment-lined baking tray evenly spaced.
  • Bake until pastry is puffed and deeply golden, remove from oven, rest briefly, then serve warm, flaky Mini Beef Wellington Bites proudly.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold
  • Do not overcook the beef
  • Seal edges tightly
  • Cool mushroom mix fully
  • Use tender beef cuts
  • Brush egg wash evenly
  • Preheat oven properly
