1egg yolk, beaten, to brush
Method:
Heat olive oil in frying pan over high heat, add beef fillet and sear quickly on both sides, pour brandy
over beef and quickly light for flaming effect.
Once extinguished transfer beef to plate lined with paper towel and set aside to cool.
Heat remaining oil in pan and add mushrooms and spring onions. Cook over medium heat for 1-2
minutes.
Lay out pastry sheets and sprinkle some breadcrumbs in the centre of each. Place the beef on top of
pastry; the breadcrumbs absorb any excess juice. Top the beef with a slice of pate and some
mushroom mixture.
Fold up the pastry to enclose, and trim any excess. Press pastry edges together and garnish with
any pastry trimmings.
Brush with egg yolk and transfer to lightly greased oven tray.
Bake in the oven for about 18 minutes or until the pastry is golden.
