Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. Finely chop or pulse the onion in a food processor until it’s very small, then sauté it in a little oil over medium heat until soft and fragrant.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the beef mince, sautéed onion, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, crumbled beef stock cube, salt, black pepper, jalapeños, cheddar, and parmesan. Mix thoroughly.
4. Beat the medium egg and add it to the mixture, then blend until everything is well combined.

Rolling and Cutting

1. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut it in half lengthwise.
2. Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture along one edge of the pastry and roll it up tightly. Seal the edges using a little water or the separated egg white.
3. Repeat with the second sheet of pastry and remaining filling.
4. Once rolled, cut each log into individual sausage rolls (about 4-5 pieces) and place them on a lined baking tray.

Baking

1. Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
3. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Best ways to enjoy it

These B85 Beef Sausage Rolls with Jalapeño and Cheese can be served straight from the oven while still warm. To elevate your presentation, arrange them on a serving platter with a side of Aussie tomato sauce or ketchup for dipping. Consider pairing them with a fresh salad, or serve as part of a charcuterie board for a more festive flair!

Keeping leftovers fresh

After letting the rolls cool completely, store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their flakiness. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. If you want to save them for later, pop them in the freezer before baking. When ready to enjoy, simply bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Pro chef tips

• When selecting beef mince, aim for one with a higher fat content to ensure flavorful and juicy sausage rolls.
• For extra texture, consider adding finely chopped mushrooms or grated zucchini to the filling. They keep it moist while enhancing flavor.
• If you prefer a bit of sweetness, caramelized onions can be a delightful substitute for raw onions in the filling.

Creative twists

Feel free to get creative with your B85 Beef Sausage Rolls! Consider adding other cheeses like pepper jack for more heat, or swap in different pickled veggies for a tangy twist. You could also try using phyllo pastry for a lighter, crispier texture. Don’t hesitate to play with spices in the filling; a little smoked paprika or cumin can add a new dimension!

Common questions

How long does it take to prepare these sausage rolls?

In total, expect about 40 minutes from start to finish, including prep time and baking.

Can I substitute the beef for turkey or chicken?

Yes! Ground turkey or chicken can work well, but keep in mind they may yield a drier filling. Adding a bit more cheese or a small amount of olive oil can help maintain moisture.

What can I do with leftover sausage rolls?

Leftover sausage rolls can be reheated in the oven for about 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F). They also freeze well, so consider making a double batch for easy snacks later!
