Updated Beef Wellington


This is another recipe I've had for over 5 years. To be honest, I hadn't made it because I was nervous. It seemed like an intimidating recipe. However, it really wasn't. It was incredibly easy. These are individual beef wellingtons and everyone loved them. I had to explain to my husband that I thought these would be hard to make when he jokingly complained about this recipe just sitting around for years. We will definitely be making these more often. The only change I made to this recipe was that I used onions instead of mushrooms. My family isn't big on mushrooms.

What you need:
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, chopped {I subbed with onions}
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
  • 2 tbsp. steak sauce
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten with 1 tbsp. water in a small cup
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

Directions:
  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. 
  2. Cook mushrooms/onions in butter for about 4 to 6 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a bowl, combine beef, chopped onion, steak sauce, salt, and pepper. Shape into 4 patties.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry into a 14-inch square. 
  5. Using a pizza cutter, slice into four 7-inch squares.
  6. Place a patty in each square and top with mushrooms/onions.
  7. Brush edges of each square with egg wash and fold corners to the center.
  8. Place on a greased baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Cut two slits into each for ventilation.
  9. Bake at 400* for 27 to 33 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
