Croustade Base

Kobe Tenderloin Filling

Mushroom Duxelles

Garnish

Method

Croustade Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Puff Pastry

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into rounds that will fit into a muffin tin. Lightly grease the muffin tin and place the pastry rounds into each cup, pressing gently.

  2. 2

    Egg Wash and Bake

    Brush the pastry cups with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool.

Kobe Tenderloin Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Sear the Kobe Beef

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the Kobe beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Sear the beef on all sides for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into small pieces.

  2. 4

    Add Flavoring

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and thyme. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the sliced tenderloin back into the skillet, mix well, and set aside.

Mushroom Duxelles Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and become dry, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Deglaze and Season

    Pour in the white wine and cook until evaporated. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.

Assembly and Garnish

  1. 7

    Fill the Croustade

    Take the cooled croustade shells and fill them with the mushroom duxelles first, then layer the Kobe beef filling on top.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle chopped chives on top of each croustade. Serve immediately as an elegant appetizer.
