Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 finely chopped medium onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Roll out 2 sheets of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface into rectangles approximately 10x12 inches. Divide the meat mixture evenly between the two sheets, shaping each into a long log about 2 inches wide along one edge of each pastry sheet.
  3. Step 3: Brush 1 beaten egg along the opposite edge of each pastry sheet. Carefully roll the pastry over the meat to encase the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Cut each roll into 6 equal pieces and place on a lined baking tray seam side down.
  4. Step 4: Brush the top of each sausage roll with a mixture of 1 beaten egg and 1 tbsp milk for a golden finish. Using a sharp knife, make 2-3 small slits on top of each roll to allow steam to escape.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the beef is cooked through. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.
