Ingredients

• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
4. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, beef broth, and flour. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
6. On a floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rectangle shape.
7. Transfer the pastry onto a greased baking sheet. Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture onto one half of the pastry, leaving a border around the edges.
8. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges to ensure a tight seal.
9. Brush the beaten egg over the top of the puff pastry to create a golden brown crust.
10. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
12. Slice and serve the Dinner in a Puff with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.
