1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp fresh thyme

Steps

1
Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. Sear quickly in a hot skillet, 30 seconds per side. Set aside.
2
In the same pan, cook mushrooms with butter until all moisture evaporates. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Cool slightly.
3
Cut puff pastry into squares. Brush with mustard. Place a spoonful of mushrooms and a beef cube on each. Wrap and seal edges.
4
Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with flaky salt.
5
Air fry at 400°F for 12-14 minutes until pastry is deeply golden and puffed.

💡

Tip: The duxelles must be cooked until completely dry or the pastry gets soggy. Searing the beef adds flavor but keeps the inside rare — it finishes cooking in the pastry. Freeze assembled bites 10 minutes before air frying for neater results.
