Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped coriander leaves, and 1 cup of the salsa sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Lay out the puff pastry sheets on a clean, lightly floured surface. If they're not already rolled out, gently roll each sheet to ensure it's even.
- Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions.
- Take one portion of the beef mixture and place it in a log shape along one edge of a puff pastry sheet. Roll the pastry over the filling to enclose it, ensuring the seam is on the underside.
- Repeat this process with the remaining portions of the beef mixture and puff pastry sheets.
- Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the beaten egg along the seam and ends of each roll to seal them nicely.
- Cut each roll into smaller, bite-sized pieces or desired lengths.
- Place the sausage rolls onto the lined baking tray, ensuring there is space between each roll.
- Brush the tops of the sausage rolls with the remaining beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the meat is cooked through.
- Let the sausage rolls cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with the remaining salsa sauce on the side for dipping.

Sausage rolls FAQ:
Bake the sausage rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes. They should be puffed and golden brown when done.
The rolls are done when the pastry is golden brown and the filling is fully cooked. You can also use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C) for ground beef.
Yes, you can store leftover sausage rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
If you don't have puff pastry, you can use phyllo dough or biscuit dough as alternatives. However, the texture and flakiness will differ slightly.
You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or pork. Just ensure that the meat is cooked to the appropriate internal temperature.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a salsa sauce that is thick enough to avoid excess moisture, which can make the pastry soggy.
- When handling puff pastry, keep it chilled to ensure it remains easy to work with and doesn't become too sticky.
- Pre-cook the ground beef slightly before mixing it with the salsa to ensure the sausage rolls cook evenly.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with egg wash before sealing to help the pastry stick together.
- To get an even golden brown color, don’t forget to brush the tops of the sausage rolls with egg wash before baking.
- Use parchment paper on baking trays to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
