Steps

  • Heat oil and butter in a pan and seal the seasoned beef on all sides.
  • Remove the beef from the pan and let it cool completely.
  • Sauté shallots in butter until soft and golden.
  • Add mushrooms and cook until all liquid evaporates.
  • Stir in cream and reduce to a thick purée, then cool completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 230°C.
  • Roll out the pastry and overlap two pancakes on top.
  • Spread a strip of chicken liver pate across the pancakes.
  • Cut three-quarters into the beef and fill with the mushroom mixture.
  • Place beef on pancakes, cover with remaining pancakes, and wrap in pastry.
  • Seal pastry edges with water and place seam-side down on a tray.
  • Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake at 230°C for 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 190°C and bake for another 20 minutes until golden.
  • Rest the meat for 5 minutes before carving into thick slices.
