Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a skillet over medium heat, sauté 1 medium finely diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves in 1 tbsp olive oil for 5 minutes until softened and aromatic.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb ground beef, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp ground allspice, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: On a lightly floured surface, roll out 2 thawed puff pastry sheets into rectangles approximately 12x9 inches each.
  4. Step 4: Divide the beef mixture evenly down the center of each pastry sheet, forming a log shape about 2 inches wide.
  5. Step 5: Brush one long edge of each pastry sheet with the beaten egg (1 egg) and carefully fold the other side over the filling, pressing edges to seal tightly.
  6. Step 6: Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
  7. Step 7: Brush the tops generously with the remaining beaten egg to create a glossy finish.
  8. Step 8: Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is puffed, golden, and crisp.
  9. Step 9: Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
