- In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, sour cream, mayonnaise and salt and pepper until well blended. Cover and refrigerate.
- In a medium bowl, mix the mushrooms, garlic, shallots, and thyme; set aside.
- Cut larger tip pieces in half so you end up with 18 portions of beef.
- Dry the beef and season with salt and pepper.
- In a hot pan on high heat, add the avocado oil and heat until shimmery.
- Add the tips and move them around constantly for about 30 seconds – do not over cook.
- Immediately transfer the tips to a shallow dish or plate and refrigerate.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and melt on medium heat.
- Add the mushroom mixture and sherry and cook until the mushrooms have released most of their liquid (about 8 minutes).
- Remove from heat and drain the mixture on a paper towel. Allow to dry and cool.
- Preheat oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- On a floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry and cut each sheet into 9 squares.
- Cut the prosciutto into 18 pieces.
- Once beef and mushrooms are cooled, place a piece of prosciutto onto each square.
- Top the prosciutto with about 1 Tbsp. of mushroom mixture then top each with a portion of beef.
- Fold up two opposite corners of the puff pastry to the center of the square.
- Repeat with the remaining two corners and gently press the four together.
- Repeat with all the puff pastry pieces.
- Place the filled pastries, seam side up, on the prepared baking sheet and brush with a beaten egg.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffed and golden.
- Serve with Dijon sauce topped with chives.
