Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 flat mushrooms roughly chopped.
• ½ small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
• 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
• 2 x 170g Tesco Irish beef fillet steaks, seasoned.
• 2 slices Tesco lean ham on the bone
• 375g pack ready rolled puff pastry.
• 1 egg, beaten, to glaze.

Method

• Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a medium frying pan and cook the mushrooms and onion for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until soft and golden. Stir in the mustard and parsley, then transfer to a plate and set aside to cool slightly.
• Return the pan to the heat and heat the remaining oil until piping hot. Add the seasoned steaks and cook for 30 seconds on each side to seal. Set aside.
• Unroll the pastry and halve along its width to produce two rectangles. From the top corner of each of the rectangles, cut out a small heart shape using a 4-5cm heart-shaped cutter, or draw a small 4 cm heart shape on a piece of paper and use as a guide. Set aside the pastry hearts.
• Place the steaks in the center of the shortest end of the pastry, about 4cm from the edge. Divide the mushroom mixture on top and press down to compact. Lay a slice of ham on top to enclose the filling.
• Lightly brush the edges of the pastry with water, then fold over to enclose the steak and stuffing. Press down to seal, then use a sharp knife to cut away the excess pastry, leaving a good 2cm of sealed edge. To help seal the pastry, press the tines of a fork into the border, then tap the edges with the blade of a knife held horizontally to rough up the edges.
• Use beaten egg to stick on the pastry hearts. Then brush all over with beaten egg, place on a baking tray and chill for 15 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 mins. Set aside to rest for 5 mins then serve with green vegetables.
