Texas-Style Beef Sausage Rolls with Jalapeño and Cheddar

Texas Style Beef Sausage Rolls

Yield: 21 rolls

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup bread crumbs
  • 4 jalapeño peppers, de-seeded and diced
  • 6 ounces sharp or medium cheddar, finely diced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3 (10 inch) sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Place olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add onions and brown for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Allow the onions to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, combine beef, cooled onions, bread crumbs, jalapeños, cheese, salt and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly as to not overwork the meat.
  4. Lay one square of pastry on a board or work surface. Use a third of the beef mixture to form a log down the center. Fold the pastry over the beef mixture on one side, then brush along the edge with egg mixture to create a “glue”. Continue to fold the roll over so it’s fully encased in pastry, and the edges line up on the egg glue line, then press the pastry lightly to ensure a good seal. Repeat steps with each pastry square.
  5. Flip each beef roll so it’s seam side down, then cut into 6 to 8 pieces. Place the pieces onto a sheet pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. You may need to rotate the tray during baking to ensure even browning.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
