Method
 

How to Make Minced Beef Wellington
  1. Preheat your oven according to the puff pastry instructions. A hot oven ensures a perfectly crisp crust at the end!
  2. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. This step sets the foundation for rich flavors.
  3. Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and potato to the skillet. Sauté until they soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Toss in the minced garlic and finely chopped fresh rosemary. Stir them for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the minced beef, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned, about 10 minutes.
  6. Allow the filling to cool for a few minutes. Once slightly cooled, mix in the beaten egg.
  7. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until it’s large enough to envelop your filling.
  8. Place the cooled filling in the center of the rolled-out pastry, forming a neat mound.
  9. Gently fold the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges tightly.
  10. Brush the top with additional beaten egg for a beautiful golden finish. Bake until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, about 25-30 minutes.

Notes

Allow the filling to cool slightly before wrapping to prevent soggy pastry. For a flakier crust, roll out the puff pastry evenly and don’t overwork it.
