Beef Mince Wellington
Beef Mince Wellington, a modern twist on the traditional Beef Wellington, celebrates simplicity while maintaining sophistication. Drawing from its British roots, this dish showcases a delicate dance between a decadent beef filling and a buttery, flaky pastry crust, perfect for elevating any dinner gathering.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
500 g ground beef (minced beef) - high quality, lean
1 cup button mushrooms - finely chopped
1 medium onion - medium, finely diced
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon thyme - fresh, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard- 1 sheet puff pastry - thawed
1 medium egg - beaten, for egg wash
1 pinch salt - to taste
1 pinch ground black pepper - to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, chopped mushrooms, and thyme to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown, around 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the beef mince with the cooked mushroom mixture, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Place the beef mixture in the center and shape it into a log, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges of the pastry.
- Brush the beaten egg along the edges of the pastry. Carefully fold over the pastry, sealing the edges to enclose the filling completely.
- Brush the top of the pastry with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.
- Transfer the Wellington to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed.
- Allow the Wellington to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For an additional flavor boost, consider adding a layer of prosciutto around the beef filling before wrapping it in the pastry.
