Beef Wellington Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry with a paper towel and season all sides with salt and pepper. Quickly sear the beef on 2 sides only until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes total; do not overcook. Transfer to a plate to cool.
• Add the mushrooms and cook until beginning to brown and release liquid, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and continue cooking until mushroom mixture dries out, is golden brown and shallots are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
• Preheat to the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• On a work surface, roll 1 sheet of puff pastry to a 10 by 14-inch rectangle. Put teaspoon-sized mounds of mushroom mixture on the pastry, evenly spacing them in 4 rows of 3. Top the mushroom mound with a piece of beef, seared side up. With a sharp knife, cut the pastry into even squares around the meat and mushrooms. Working 1 at a time, pull 2 opposite sides of pastry up over each beef piece, then fold the ends over the top to make a packet. Invert and arrange the packets seam side down on the baking sheet and press them lightly to seal the pastry. Repeat with the remaining beef, mushrooms, and pastry.
• Bake the Wellingtons until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven to a serving platter and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Roll out the puff pastry slightly. Sprinkle the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Place 2 teaspoons of the Wellington Filling in the center of each puff pastry square. Top the filling with 1 cube of beef. Fold the edges of the pastry over the beef and crimp to seal the filling inside. Place on a greased baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
• Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with Port Wine Cherry Sauce and Horseradish Cream Sauce.
• Combine the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto and cook until the fat has rendered. Add the mushrooms, thyme and 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper. Saute for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and allow to cool before folding in the Dijon and pâté.
• Combine the port, sugar, rosemary and 1 tablespoon black pepper in a saucepan and cook until reduced by one-third. Add the cherries and continue to reduce by another third. Add the butter and mix into the wine reduction with a stick blender.
• Mix together the sour cream, mayo, horseradish, chives and 2 tablespoons each salt and pepper in large mixing bowl. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Sprinkle steaks with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large skillet, brown steaks in 1 tablespoon oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and refrigerate until chilled., In the same skillet, saute mushrooms and onion in remaining oil until tender. Stir in remaining salt and pepper; cool to room temperature., Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each puff pastry sheet into a 14x9-1/2-in. rectangle. Cut into two 7-in. squares (use scraps to make decorative cutouts if desired). Place a steak in the center of each square; top with mushroom mixture. Lightly brush pastry edges with water. Bring opposite corners of pastry over steak; pinch seams to seal tightly., Place in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Cut four small slits in top of pastry. Arrange cutouts over top if desired. Brush with egg., Bake 25-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown and meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).

Steps:

• For the beef Wellingtons: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry with a paper towel and season all sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Quickly sear the beef on all sides until well browned, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate to cool.
• Add the shallot to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the mushrooms have softened, begun to brown and released their liquid, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat and let cool.
• On a work surface, roll 1 sheet of puff pastry into a 14-by-10-inch rectangle. Put teaspoon-sized mounds of the mushroom mixture on the pastry, evenly spacing them in 4 rows of 3. Top each mushroom mound with a piece of beef. Brush the tops of the beef with the Dijon mustard. With a sharp knife, cut the pastry into even squares around the fillings.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the cream and egg and brush all four edges of the puff pastry squares with the egg mixture. Working one at a time, pull 2 opposite corners of pastry up over each beef piece, then fold the remaining 2 corners over the top to make a packet. Seal tightly. Invert and arrange the packets seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and press them lightly to seal the pastry. Repeat with the remaining puff pastry, mushrooms, beef, and mustard.
• Bake the Wellingtons until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove to a serving platter and let cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
• For the horseradish cream sauce: Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream, light cream, horseradish and pepper in a small bowl. Serve alongside the beef Wellingtons.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• To the bowl of a food processor, add the mushrooms, garlic, shallots and thyme. Pulse until finely chopped.
• To make the duxelles, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mushroom mixture and sherry and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid released from the mushrooms has mostly evaporated, 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a sheet pan or large bowl. Refrigerate until cool.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry sheet into a 10- by-12-inch rectangle. Cut into twenty 2 1/2-inch squares. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart. Prick each square all over with a fork (leaving about a half inch from each edge untouched).
• In a small bowl, beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water together. Use a pastry brush to brush the top of each square of pastry with the egg wash. To each square, add one piece of prosciutto, then gently press 1 heaping teaspoon of the duxelles into the center. Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the beef cubes with a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper and toss with the mustard. Add to the skillet and cook until browned all over, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the pastries to a platter, then add one piece of beef to the center of each pastry, gently pressing down to nestle the beef into the pastry. Drizzle with the Horseradish Sauce, then garnish with the chives.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the mayo, sour cream, horseradish, honey and mustard. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Sprinkle the steak chunks with salt and pepper. When the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the steak chunks and sear them for about 45 seconds per side. (The steaks will only be partially cooked at this stage.) Remove and set aside to partially cool.
• Add the onion and thyme to the same skillet and stir. Allow to continue cooking while you place the mushrooms in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated from the skillet, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, then add the Dijon mustard and stir to combine.
• While the mushrooms are cooking, lay out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the pastry to a 12-by-16-inch rectangle. Cut into 12 equal squares by cutting 4 long strips, then cutting each strip crosswise 3 times.
• Place a small amount of the mushroom mixture (known as duxelles) into the center of each square. Top each square with a piece of the steak. Fold the puff pastry up and over the steak, totally encasing the steak and mushroom mixture inside. Place on the prepared baking sheet with the smooth side facing upwards. Repeat with the remaining pastry, duxelles and steak.
• Brush each bundle with the egg yolk and sprinkle with the sea salt. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve with the horseradish sauce. Enjoy.
