Mini Wellingtons

From one of my BBC cooking books, 101 Simple Suppers. Take:

4 fillet steaks, brushed with olive oil and seasoned (I also used freshly ground mixture of peppercorns)
4 tbsp mushroom pâté (or if you have more time and inspiration, take 4 large mushrooms, cut and fry a bit, until the liquid has evaporated)
2 x 375 g puff pastry
1 beaten egg
green beans to serve

Heat the oven to 220° C. Sear steaks for 20-30 seconds each side. Cool slightly, then top each with pâté and put them on a piece of rolled pastry. Lay another piece of pastry on top and press the edges together firmly. Trim and seal. Glaze with egg, then bake for 12 minutes* for medium rare. Serve with green beans.

*Mine was baked for 15 minutes or so, so it was somewhere between medium rare and done.
