Ingredients
Scale:
1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
8 oz creamy brie cheese, cut into slices
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 lb beef flank steak, thinly sliced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer it to a tart pan, carefully pressing it into the edges and corners. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh cranberries, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. Toss until well coated and let sit for a few minutes.
Arrange the brie cheese slices evenly on the puff pastry. Spoon the cranberry mixture over the brie, distributing it evenly.
Beat the egg and brush it generously over the edges of the pastry. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Season the beef strips with salt and pepper, then coat them in flour. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the beef strips until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Once the tart is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with crispy beef strips and additional fresh thyme if desired. Slice and serve warm.
