Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Mushrooms, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 sheet Whole wheat puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is fragrant and the mushrooms release their moisture. Stir in the parsley, salt, and ground pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Dijon mustard, and the cooled mushroom mixture. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.

Step 5

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to approximately 10x12 inches (if not already pre-rolled). Cut the pastry into 4 equal squares.

Step 6

Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Place one portion in the center of each pastry square, shaping the meat into a rectangle or oval.

Step 7

Fold the corners of the pastry over the beef mixture, pinching the edges to seal and forming a neat package. Flip each package seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Brush the tops and sides of the pastry with the beaten egg to ensure a golden finish during baking.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the internal temperature of the beef reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 10

Let the wellingtons rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
