Beef And Garlic Mushroom En Croute

I try to meal plan as much as possible to help reduce food waste and generally just make my life easier. My lovely friend Kim from Life As Kim also meal plans and has mentioned beef and mushroom en croute a few times but has had it substituted on her shopping just recently. It sounded so good I decided to have a bash at making my own and I must say, they are amazing!

Beef And Garlic Mushroom En Croute is so easy to make and tastes out of this world. I served mine with chips as a weekend dinner, but you could use roast potatoes and some steamed veg and they would be a fantastic alternative to a Sunday roast.
 

Ingredients

450g of lean steak mince

1 brown onion

250g of chestnut mushrooms

Tablespoon of garlic purée

1 ready-rolled puff pastry sheet

1 egg

100g of strong cheddar cheese

1 beef stock cube

1 teaspoon of oregano

1 teaspoon of sage

Pinch of black pepper

Cold water

Method

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.

Crack the egg and separate. Place the white in a small bowl and the yolk into a large mixing bowl.

To the mixing bowl add the minced steak, the oregano, the sage and the black pepper. Mix by hand to incorporate the ingredients and then form 4 thick square patties.

Slice the mushrooms and the onion coarsely.

Heat a large frying pan and sear the patties on each side for 1 minute. Remove them from the pan and place to one side.

Then cook the onions and mushrooms in the frying pan for 2 minutes. Add half a glass of water to the pan, then the garlic purée and the stock cube. Stir and cook until it starts to thicken then remove from the heat.

Unroll the pastry sheet and cut into four squares. Place a large spoonful of the mushroom and onion in the centre of each square, then place the patties on top at a 45 degree angle to the square.

Slice the cheese thinly and place on top of the patties, then gently pull each corner of the pastry over into the centre.

Place the en croutes onto a lined baking tray and brush with the egg white.

Bake for 30 minutes.
