Preparation
Step1
Preheat the oven to 220c/Gas 7. Cut the beef fillet into four steaks. Season well on both sides
Step2
Dust a worktop with the flour and roll the pastry out to form a 30cm square. Cut into four equal squares. Put a portion of the coarse pork pate in the center of each pastry square, top with the steaks, pushing down to flatten the pate, then spread a portion of the mushroom pate over the top of each one.
Step3
Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg. Fold up the side like an envelope and press on top to seal. Put seam-side down, on a baking parchment. Score lightly and brush all over with egg. Bake for 20 minutes until risen and golden or cooked through to your liking, 20 minutes for rare to medium beef, 30 minutes for well done.
