Beef Sausage rolls

Simple and quick. This recipe is a good one.
Practice cutting up the onion and parsley into a fine dice. For the onion, cut off the leaves leaving a nice flat surface, then cut in half. Peel off the skin and dice up using the 2 cut method.
You could also use other meats, instead of beef.
Using the egg wash sticks the pastry together and glazes the outside of the pastry to golden brown.
