For the Beef

  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for elevating the natural flavor of the beef.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Use freshly ground for an extra kick; adjust to your preference.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Ideal for searing to lock in juices and enhance flavor.
For the Mushroom Filling
  • 1 medium Onion Minced onion brings sweetness; be sure to sauté well.
  • 8 ounces Button Mushrooms Earthy and flavorful; you can also use cremini for a richer taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Adds depth and umami; opt for low-sodium if you're watching salt intake.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano A hint of herbiness that complements the mushrooms beautifully.
  • 1/2 cup Pitted Black Olives Finely chopped, they introduce a briny richness to the filling.
For the Pastry

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Beef: Start by cutting the beef tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper. Let it sit while heating the skillet.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef cubes for 1-2 minutes on each side and drain on paper towels.
  3. Make the Mushroom Filling: In the same skillet, sauté onion and button mushrooms for 10 minutes, then add soy sauce, oregano, and blend with black olives.
  4. Prepare the Pastry: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roll out the puff pastry, cut into 3-3.5 inch squares, and keep covered to prevent drying.
  5. Assemble the Bites: Place a pastry square on the surface, spread mustard, add mushroom mixture and beef, fold corners over filling, and seal.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Place bites on a baking tray, brush with egg, and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
