  • Perfect bite-sized portions for gatherings
  • Can be made ahead of time

Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • 1 package (1 pound) puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish

How to Make Beef Wellington Bites

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and garlic, sautéing until the mushrooms are browned and any moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, combine the cooled mushroom mixture with the beef tenderloin cubes and Dijon mustard. Mix until well combined.
  4. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 3-inch squares. You should get about 12 squares from each sheet.
  5. Place a spoonful of the beef and mushroom mixture in the center of each pastry square.
  6. Fold the corners of the pastry over the filling to create a small parcel and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
  7. Place the parcels seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg yolk for a shiny finish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  9. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure the beef is cut into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Don’t overcook the mushroom mixture; it should be dry to avoid soggy pastry.
  • Keep the puff pastry cold until you’re ready to use it for better flakiness.
  • For a richer flavor, add a splash of red wine to the mushroom mixture while cooking.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the beef with ground beef or turkey for a different texture.
  • Add a slice of prosciutto or bacon for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Incorporate other herbs like rosemary or oregano to suit your taste preferences.
  • Consider adding a small piece of cheese, such as brie or blue cheese, to enhance the flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • A crisp green salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette
  • A selection of dipping sauces like aioli or horseradish cream
  • Roasted vegetables for a colorful side
  • A glass of red wine to complement the rich flavors

Storage and Reheating

Leftover Beef Wellington Bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
