Beef Wellington bites

These mini versions of the classic beef Wellington make for tasty hors d'oeuvres.

Serves 4-6 | Takes 1 hr 10

Ingredients

500g beef steak (like fillet, sirloin or rump), cut into 6 thick strips

30ml olive oil

30ml soy sauce + extra

1 garlic clove, crushed

salt and ground pepper

1 onion, sliced

400g cheese and herb puff pastry

1 egg

15ml milk

sweet chilli sauce, to drizzle

green salad, to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Marinate the beef in half the oil, soy sauce and garlic for at least 1 hour.

Heat the rest of the oil over high heat and sear the beef for about 5 minutes until browned all over. Season. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onion to the same pan and fry for 5 minutes until soft.

Beat the egg and milk together, and brush it over the pastry. Cut in half through the length, then each length into 3 squares. Place a beef strip in the centre of each square. Top with onion and a dollop of sweet chilli sauce. Pinch the edges of the pastry to seal, then brush with egg. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Mix some soy and sweet chilli sauce together and serve with the beef Wellingtons and a green salad.
