Description
Savory Steak Bakes are delicious pastries filled with a flavorful ground beef mixture, perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package (14 ounces) refrigerated puff pastry (2 sheets)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut each sheet into rectangles, approximately 4×6 inches.
- Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto one half of each pastry rectangle, leaving a border around the edges. Brush the edges with the beaten egg to help seal the pastries.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch. Make a few small slits on the top of each pastry to allow steam to escape.
- Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or mustard, for added flavor.
