  • Heat the oil and butter in a pan and when hot, sear the pre-seasoned beef fillet with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and allow to cool.
  • To make the filling, start by chopping the shallots and mushrooms. Heat the same pan with butter and cook the shallots until golden.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until all the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add the cream and season with salt and pepper. Cook until a thick puree forms and remove from heat, allow to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 230 degrees Celsius.
  • Roll out the puff pastry and flatten it with a rolling pin until it is 5cm larger than the fillet all around. Place the crepes on top of the puff pastry.
  • Place the chicken liver in the center of the crepes.
  • Make a horizontal cut along the length of the fillet and with a spatula place the mushroom filling.
  • Place the fillet on the puff pastry and cover with the crepes and puff pastry, closing the ends as if it were a gift.
  • With a brush, paint the puff pastry with the egg yolks so that it browns properly.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 190 degrees Celsius and bake for 20 more minutes or until the puff pastry is golden.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
