Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook until most of their moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until fully browned and crumbly, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard. Cook for another 1 minute to combine flavors, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Lightly flour your workspace and roll out one puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon the cooled ground beef mixture in the center of the puff pastry, shaping it into a compact log while leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Roll out the second puff pastry sheet and lay it over the meat mixture. Gently press the edges together and seal by crimping with a fork.
Brush the entire surface of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden glaze.
Using a sharp knife, cut a few small slits on top to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Ground Beef Wellington!
