Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef sirloin, cooked and thinly sliced
• 500 grams Puff pastry, store-bought or homemade
• 1 unit Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 unit Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters Beef stock
• 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoons Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 unit Egg yolks, beaten
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the beef stock, whisking to prevent lumps. Let the mixture simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the Dijon mustard, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Remove the skillet from heat and let the sauce cool slightly.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a large rectangle, approximately 1/8-inch thick.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of the cooled sauce over the center of the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.

Step 9

Arrange the thinly sliced beef over the sauce in an even layer. Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the beef to form a sealed packet. Pinch the edges to secure.

Step 10

Place the packet seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the surface with the beaten egg yolk to create a golden finish.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, score the pastry lightly to create decorative patterns, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Step 13

Remove the Yorkshire Beef Puff from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Slice into portions and serve immediately, optionally with a side of gravy, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
