Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 piece beef steak cut
  • 2 sheets puff pastry dough
  • 1 pack button mushrooms
  • 1 shallot
  • 2~3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Thyme, a little
  • Rosemary, a little
  • Salt, a little
  • Pepper, a little
  • 2 egg yolks (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • Microgreens, as needed
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (for sauce)
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp diced pickles (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp corn kernels (for sauce)

Recipe 🍳

  1. Season the beef steak cut with salt, pepper, and herb spices.
  2. Heat oil in a hot pan and quickly sear the surface of the beef over high heat.
  3. Once the surface is cooked, turn off the heat, add butter, crushed garlic, thyme, and rosemary to infuse flavor into the meat, then remove and let it rest.
  4. Finely chop the button mushrooms, shallot, and garlic.
  5. In a pan, sauté the minced garlic and shallot, then add the chopped mushrooms and cook until all moisture evaporates, making a mushroom duxelles.
  6. Blanch the microgreens and other filling vegetables briefly in boiling water, then rinse in cold water and thoroughly remove moisture.
  7. On a sheet of puff pastry, spread the cooled mushroom duxelles and blanched vegetables, then place the seared beef lightly brushed with mustard on top.
  8. Cover with another sheet of puff pastry, crimp the edges firmly to seal, and trim into a dome shape.
  9. Brush the surface evenly with egg yolk wash, score patterns with the back of a knife, then bake in an oven or air fryer until golden brown.
  10. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, diced pickles, corn kernels, and pepper to make a tangy special sauce, and serve alongside.
  1. Season the beef and quickly sear only the surface in a pan, then let it rest.
  2. Cook chopped mushrooms and shallot until moisture evaporates to make mushroom duxelles.
  3. Blanch the accompanying vegetables and thoroughly remove moisture.
  4. Place mushroom duxelles, vegetables, and beef on puff pastry, wrap, and seal.
  5. Brush with egg wash, score patterns with a knife, and bake in the oven.
  6. Make a sauce by mixing mayonnaise and sour cream, and serve alongside.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The moisture from the mushroom duxelles and blanched vegetables must be completely removed to ensure the pastry stays crispy and not soggy.
  • The beef should not be fully cooked through; considering the oven cooking, only the surface should be quickly seared for the right doneness.
