Description

An easy, family-friendly take on the classic Beef Wellington—juicy seasoned ground beef with vegetables wrapped in crispy golden puff pastry.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stick, diced
  • 1 medium potato, diced
  • 23 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 mushrooms, chopped
  • 4 sprigs rosemary or thyme, leaves only
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (80g) frozen peas
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (preferably 90/10 or leaner)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 17 oz (500g) puff pastry, thawed
  • Flour, for rolling
  • 1 egg, beaten (for brushing pastry)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté onion, carrot, celery, potato, mushrooms, garlic, and herbs until soft (about 10 minutes). Let cool completely.
  3. Mix cooled veggies with ground beef, peas, salt, pepper, and half the beaten egg.
  4. Dust surface with flour and roll out puff pastry to 1/4-inch thickness. Shape beef mixture into a log and place in center of pastry.
  5. Brush pastry edges with remaining egg, roll up and seal. Place seam-side down on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Brush top with egg and score lightly.
  7. Bake for 45–60 minutes until pastry is golden and cooked through.
  8. Rest 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Cool the filling before wrapping to avoid soggy pastry. Customize veggies to your taste. Bake on a wire rack for a crisp bottom. Freeze unbaked if needed.
