Ground Beef ‘Wellington’ with Fennel

Description

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.

Ingredients

• 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
