Steps

  • Mix butter, lard, flour, and salt in a food processor until breadcrumb texture forms.
  • Add lemon juice and water to form a dough, then roll into a rectangle.
  • Fold the dough into thirds, rotate 90 degrees, repeat folding, and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Sauté garlic and shallot in garlic oil until soft.
  • Pulse drained porcini mushrooms in a food processor until they resemble breadcrumbs.
  • Repeat the pastry rolling and folding process and chill again for 15 minutes.
  • Simmer all mushrooms with garlic and shallot for 10 minutes before adding thyme and wine.
  • Reduce the mushroom mixture to a paste, season, and leave to cool.
  • Sear the seasoned steak pieces in a hot pan until browned and allow to cool.
  • Wrap each cooled steak piece tightly in a slice of ham.
  • Perform a final roll and fold of the pastry and chill for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Roll pastry to a 30cm x 45cm rectangle and cut into six 15cm x 15cm squares.
  • Spread mushroom paste on pastry, place beef in the center, and wrap tightly.
  • Brush with egg wash, score the tops, and bake for 25 minutes until golden.
