Ingredients
- 4 fillet steaks thick cut
- 1 packet mushrooms mixed
- 1 packet field mushrooms
- 1 packet fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- 200g pate
- 1 packet ready rolled puff pastry
- Butter and olive oil for frying
- 1 egg + 2 tbsp water
For pancake
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 egg
- 2 cups milk
- Fresh herbs (optional)
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Turn on your oven to 200 C .
- First make your pancake batter by putting flour in a bowl making a well in the center and cracking in the egg.
- Then, whisk in the milk gradually till the right consistency is acquired then add your chopped herbs if you like( thyme or rosemary work well). Set aside.
- Then, finely chop your mushrooms for the duxelles, melt some butter in a pan and add a splash of oil to stop it burning. Fry your mushrooms and garlic together till all the liquid has gone the season and add your chopped thyme.
- Next make your pancakes. In a hot pan melt a small knob of butter and add a small ladle full of the batter to it making sure it is not too thick. Turn over and cook the other side, making sure it is big enough to wrap your steak in.
- Now sear your steak in a hot pan on all sides, then place your pastry out with the pancake in the middle, top your steak with some pate then some mushrooms, then fold the pancake around to seal in the juices.
- Inclose your parcel with the pastry making sure that you seal the edges well with a bit of egg wash in the seal and on top for nice gloss.
- Bake in a pre heated oven till pastry is puffed and golden.
