Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, finely diced
- 1 Celery stalk, finely diced
- 0.5 cup Low sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, low sodium
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the low sodium beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, thyme, and parsley. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture and stir well to incorporate. Cook for 2 more minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the meat mixture cool slightly.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat filling in the center of each pastry square.
Fold each pastry square into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to the opposite corner. Press the edges together using a fork to seal.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
