Ingredients

For the beef pieces:

½ teaspoon salt: Enhances the beef's natural flavors.
¼ teaspoon black pepper: Adds a subtle heat and depth.
1 tablespoon olive oil: For searing the beef adding a hint of richness.

For the mushroom filling:

1 tablespoon olive oil: Used to sauté the onions and mushrooms.
½ onion minced: Offers a sweet, aromatic base to the filling.
2 cups finely chopped button mushrooms about 7 ounces/200 grams: The earthy component of the filling.
1 tablespoon regular soy sauce: Brings umami and depth to the mixture.
A generous pinch of black pepper: Complements the mushrooms' earthiness.
1 teaspoon dried oregano: Adds a hint of herbaceous flavor.
½ cup pitted black olives 60 grams: Introduces a briny contrast.

For beef Wellington bites:

1 pound puff pastry 450 grams: The flaky, buttery envelope that encases the filling.
Mustard to taste: Adds a tangy, sharp accent.
1 small egg beaten: Gives the pastry a golden sheen.

Method

Prepare the Beef: Season and sear the beef tenderloin pieces until they're browned on all sides, then set them aside to cool.
Mushroom Filling: Sauté onions and mushrooms, then blend them with olives and seasonings to create a flavorful paste.
Assemble: Cut the puff pastry into squares, add mustard, the mushroom mixture, and a piece of beef to each. Fold the pastry over the filling and seal.
Bake: Place the bites on a baking tray, brush with egg wash, and bake until golden and puffed.
Serve: Enjoy the Beef Wellington bites warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Preparation: The mushroom filling can be made ahead and refrigerated, streamlining your assembly process on the big day.
Ingredient Quality: Opt for premium beef and fresh pastry for the best flavor and texture.
Storage: Leftover bites should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge, where they'll keep for 2-3 days.
Reheating: Warm the bites in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven until they're heated through and the pastry is crisp again.
