If you’re looking for a delectable canapé that’s sure to impress your guests, look no further than Beef Wellington Bites, prepared effortlessly in an air fryer. This mini version of the classic dish features tender pieces of succulent beef fillet, encased in a rich mushroom duxelles and wrapped in a flaky puff pastry.

To begin, season the beef with salt and pepper before quickly searing it in a hot pan – just enough to lock in those essential juices. Allow the beef to cool before spreading a layer of the earthy mushroom mixture over each piece. Next, envelop the beef in pre-rolled puff pastry, cutting them into bite-sized portions.

Preheat your air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius. Brush the pastry with a beaten egg for that perfect golden finish, then place the bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they have room to puff up beautifully. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp, and the beef is cooked to your liking.

Serve these delightful morsels warm, perhaps with a drizzle of tangy horseradish cream or a rich red wine reduction, and watch as they disappear in no time! Perfect for festive gatherings or any occasion that calls for a touch of elegance.
