Preparation
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375℉.
-
Step 2
Place olive oil in a small pan over MEDIUM heat. Add onions and brown for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently. Allow the onions to cool.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 5
Flip each beef roll so it’s seam side down, then cut into 6-8 pieces. Place the pieces onto a sheet pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. You may need to rotate the tray during baking to ensure even browning.
-
Step 6
Allow to cool slightly before serving.

This is a good recipe but there are a few changes I would make to improve it IMAO. The beef needed more seasoning than salt and pepper. It was rather bland so I would add a beef rub unless doing the following below: The jalapeño was still raw and still had that raw taste after baking so I would sauté it with the onions. I know this is a “beef” website, sorry, but I would mix beef and breakfast ground sausage 50/50 to amp up the flavor. Finally, I might try laying the cut pieces on the sides instead of standing up as a lot of the cheese did ooze out. Overall a gr8 idea that I will try again.

This looks amazing!
I’ll give this a try!
Think I’ll try it also with a 1/3 mix of breakfast sausage (like the sausage that comes in the little “chubs” at the grocery store) as well, cuz I’m just a wild & crazy guy that way.

I’m not sure why it won’t let me put more than one stars??????
The combination of the jalapeño cheddar ground beef and flaky puff pastry worked really well together. I would definitely use this recipe again. However, the grease on the ground beef was saturating the puff pastry, I end up having to take it out and lay them on a rack to finish baking. Make sure to make thicker slices, mine all tipped over.
