Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to the highest temperature. Brush the steaks with oil and season with salt. Cook for 4 minutes, then remove and let cool completely. Meanwhile, take the pastry out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Place two slices of Parma ham in a cross shape and lay the beef fillet in the center. Repeat with the remaining ham and fillet. Spoon the pâté on top (round it slightly to form a dome if possible), then wrap the ham around, forming two parcels.

3. 3

   Unfold the puff pastry and cut it in half. Place the wrapped fillets at the end of each pastry rectangle, then brush the surrounding pastry with a little water. Fold the pastry and gently press around the beef with your hands, trying not to leave air pockets. Trim the excess pastry with a small knife (leave as a rectangle or shape into an oval), then secure the edges with a fork.

4. 4

   Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. Brush the parcels with beaten egg and cook for 15 minutes for medium doneness or 20 minutes for well done. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
