1. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Char-grill or sear the steaks for 30 seconds each side. Cool slightly, then top each with pâté and put them on a piece of pastry. Lay another piece of pastry on top, trim, leaving a border and seal. Glaze with egg, then bake for 12 minutes for medium rare.

Know-how

Oil the meat, not the pan, and cook for 2 mins each side for rare (3 for medium)

  absolutely superb we added mushrooms and garlic on top of the pate. Absolutely to die for if fillet steak didnt cost so much we would have this more often. Yummy yummy

  Had this tonight, though used rump steak instead (not buying fillet at £40/kg!) very easy to make and tasted fantastic. The only reason it got 4 and not 5 stars was because of the cost of the fillet

  Used sirloin steak which was just fine, rather than fillet. Lovely Saturday night in meal. Used therest of the mushroom pate (wasn't quite sure what to do with it!), mixed with wilted, chopped spinach & cheese in pancakes. Will definately make again.

  Loved it and so did my dinner guests! Only thing was that the meat came out more well done than medium/rare - will cut down on searing time next time.

  This was yummy - the only thing that let it down was the pate - my boyf will only eat Brussels Smooth pate which I don't like. Will use a mushroom pate next time and not tell him!!!

  Terrific. For a special treat I brushed the fillets with brandy before searing and also used a widely known brandy and herb pate. I also topped the steaks with some fried then strained mixed mushrooms. Delicious. Only thing to be cautious of is the thickness of the steaks and the pastry. My friend made this on my recommendation but bought thick door-stopper fillets and didn't roll her pastry out enough. The result was huge, soggy amounts of pastry and a waste of lovely fillet steak.

  We added a "California" twist by grilling the steak on the BBQ great smokey California flavor! Love them individually - control over doneness of meat! Mom likes her steak charred, I am on the rare side! Try the grill it is tasty, but not traditional!
