Mini Beef Wellington Bites are an elegant and delicious appetizer featuring tender beef wrapped in flaky puff pastry with a savory mushroom and mustard filling. Perfect for parties or special occasions, these bite-sized treats combine rich flavors with a golden, crispy exterior.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef

  • 8 oz beef tenderloin, cut into small cubes

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Mushrooms

  • 4 oz mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Mustard

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushroom duxelles: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced shallot, garlic, and chopped mushrooms. Cook until the mixture is dry and fragrant, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the beef cubes: Pat the beef cubes dry and sear them quickly in a hot pan to brown all sides, approximately 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and let them cool slightly.
  3. Wrap the beef: Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into squares large enough to wrap each beef cube. Brush each seared beef piece with Dijon mustard, then top with a spoonful of mushroom duxelles. Place the beef on the pastry square and fold the pastry over, sealing the edges by pinching them together.
  4. Bake the bites: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the wrapped beef bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Allow the bites to rest for a few minutes before serving warm as a delightful appetizer or party snack.

Notes

  • Use puff pastry that is fully thawed for easier handling and better puff.
  • Searing the beef cubes before wrapping helps lock in juices and adds flavor.
  • You can prepare the mushroom duxelles and beef cubes ahead of time to speed up assembly.
  • Serve with a side of horseradish sauce or mustard for extra flavor.
  • Ensure not to overcook the beef inside for a tender and juicy bite.
