MOM'S BEEF WELLINGTON WITH PATE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Working in batches, sear steaks in hot oil until browned, about 90 seconds per side; insides will still be raw. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the outsides of the steaks and transfer to a baking dish. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over very low heat. Add mushrooms and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in pate until completely mixed; cook until all moisture has evaporated and it starts to stick to the pan. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate stuffing 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Roll out 1 sheet of puff pastry and place 4 steaks on top. Cut out the pastry around each steak, leaving 1 1/2 inch border on all sides. Remove the steaks. Repeat with the remaining sheet of puff pastry and steaks.
• Place a spoonful of stuffing down the center of a pastry piece, set a steak on top, and spread another small spoonful of stuffing on top; press down gently. Fold pastry around the steak, overlapping as much as possible and squeezing dough tightly to seal. Turn pastry over and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pastry squares, stuffing, and steaks.
• Bake in the preheated oven, checking after 20 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and steak reaches desired doneness, 30 to 35 minutes.

• In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
• Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of the oil to the skillet and fry the steak over medium heat, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
• Add the bourbon to the skillet and, over medium heat, scrape up any bits that cling to the pan. Allow the liquor to simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the onions are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and stir in any juices that have run off from the steak.
• To serve, cut the steak into 1/4-inch-thick slices and top with the onions.

STEAK AND ONION PASTRY PARCELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 220ºC (200ºC fan assisted oven)/425ºF/Gas 7.
• Heat the butter in a heavy based frying pan and quickly seal the steaks on all sides so they are just browning. Remove from pan and allow to cool on kitchen paper.
• Add the onions to the pan and cook slowly for approximately 10 minutes until brown and tender, cool on kitchen paper.
• Cut the pastry into 4 equal pieces and roll each one sufficiently large to be able to wrap up the steaks. Place one eighth of the onions in the centre of each pastry piece, top with a generous teaspoonful of horseradish and then sit a steak on top. Top the meat with the evenly divided remaining onions.
• Brush the edges of one pastry piece with beaten egg and bring the sides up to meet over the meat. Press together firmly so that the filling is totally sealed in like a parcel, turn over and place on a lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pastry/steak stacks. Make 2-3 cuts in the tops of the parcels, brush with beaten egg.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until pastry is golden brown and depending on how rare you like the steak. Serve hot.
