Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium onion, chopped into 1 cm cubes
- 1 carrot, chopped into 1 cm cubes
- 1 stalk celery, chopped into 1 cm cubes
- 1 medium potato, chopped into 1 cm cubes
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves picked and chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb 1⅔ oz (500g) good quality minced beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 lb 1⅔ oz (500g) puff pastry
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook Vegetables: In a frying pan over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the onion, carrot, celery, potato, and rosemary. Fry for about 8 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic in the last minute of cooking. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool completely.
- Prepare Filling: Add minced beef to the bowl with cooled vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, and add half of the beaten egg. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble Wellington: Roll out the puff pastry to the size of a small tea towel. Arrange the beef mixture along one long edge of the pastry. Brush the edges with the remaining beaten egg, then roll the pastry around the filling, sealing the edges and pinching the ends.
- Bake: Place the roll seam-side down on a baking tray and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Bake for 1 hour until golden brown.
- Serve: Slice and serve warm, with gravy if desired.
