Start by preheating your oven to 400°F. Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper, and sear it on all sides in a hot skillet. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms, shallot, garlic, and thyme until the mushrooms are tender and the mixture is fragrant. Stir in the Dijon mustard and let the mixture cool.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 12 squares. Place a spoonful of the mushroom mixture in the center of each square. Slice the beef tenderloin into 12 pieces and place one on top of each mushroom mixture. Fold the pastry over the beef and pinch the edges to seal. Brush with the beaten egg and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
