Ground Beef 'Wellington' with Fennel image

I took the idea of wrapping beef in pastry from the traditional beef Wellington to make a simpler dish with the kick of fennel seeds and cayenne. I serve these with tomato sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup diced onion
¼ cup fennel, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
½ teaspoon fennel seed
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 eggs
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) package refrigerated crescent rolls

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, fennel, and garlic. Cook and stir until the fennel is tender, and the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fennel seed and red pepper flakes, and cook for 1 minute more. Meanwhile, beat the egg in a bowl, then mix in the ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley, and salt. Add the cooked vegetable mixture, and stir until combined.
  • Separate the crescent roll dough into two squares. Divide the meat mixture among the crescent roll squares, then seal the dough around the meat. Place seam-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry has turned golden-brown, and the center of the pastries registers 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) on a kitchen thermometer, about 30 minutes. Slice and serve.
