Best Bite Siz Beef Wellingtons Recipes

MINI BEEF WELLINGTON BITES

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.

MINI BEEF WELLINGTON HORS D'OUERVES

Steps:

• 1. Ok, first off I made this dish in two days. I got the mushroom mixture ready and seared off the filet mignon. Then put it in the fridge for the night. For the Duxelles: In a saute pan, add the olive oil and 2 Tbsp of butter; let it melt. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook till just translucent.
• 2. Add the mushrooms, the thyme and, if needed, a bit more butter and olive oil. Cook it down.
• 3. Add the Madiera wine. Taste and add more wine if needed. Season with salt and pepper.
• 4. Again taste. If it's amazing, take off the heat and let cool completely.
• 5. Season filet mignon with salt pepper and a bit of Herb de Provence on both sides.
• 6. In a cast iron skillet or good heavy bottom pan, add some olive oil and remaining 2 TBSP butter. When the pan is hot, hot, hot add the filet and sear on all sides. Do not cook all the way through. You just want to sear the outside; the inside should still be rare.
• 7. At this point, you can allow the meat to cool and put both the duxelles and the steaks in the fridge. If you want to make it all now, you can as well.
• 8. Preheat oven to 425. Slice the filet into 2 bite slices.
• 9. Take a slice and wrap it in either prosciutto or the salami. (I made several of each and just decorated the puff pastry differently to be able to ID them later.)
• 10. Smear with Dijon mustard.
• 11. Roll out the puff pastry and cut them so they are large enough to just fit and wrap the slice of filet mignon. Spread each square with the duxelles.
• 12. Place the filet slice wrapped in prosciutto and Dijon onto the center of the puff pastry.
• 13. Seal by overlapping the sides and pressing the ends closed.
• 14. On a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil or parchment paper and butter, place the individual Wellingtons sealed side down.
• 15. Brush lightly with the egg wash.
• 16. Place in oven and cook about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them they are small.
