what is the mixture, sausage meat and mince! Do I add anything else to the mix! Also do I just roll the pastry and then spread out the mix and roll to create a pinwheel type of thing, then cut into slices. silly question I know

sarahb5, picture a pinwheel biscuit made up ofe.g. a vanilla biscuit layer of dough topped with a chocolate layer of dough, then rolled up and the roll sliced into individual biscuits.The beef swirls are the same sort of thing except that the vanilla biscuit layer is pastry and the chocolate biscuit layer is a meat mixture.
babytears, sorry I can't/couldn't help you with how to make the beef swirls - obviously I know what they are and have enjoyed them but not for a long time and those ones were from a butchery.We actually preferred another slightly similar meat item that we used to get from a butchery near where I worked many years ago - it was (I think) called Swiss Roll but was actuallya beef mince "log" rolled in sausagemeat then the the sausagemeat was crumbed - either cooked as a whole piece of meat or sliced then cooked, it made a tasty meal.:-))

Sorry that was 20 min cooking time, I also do the same using half sheets of pastry, good for finger food, also use sweet chilli sauce and curry powder for different flavors chopped mushrooms etc
I have known them as beef swirls (maybe that was just a name I conjured up hahaha) as well as swiss rolls.

babytears, much as I'd like to give you the credit for coming up with the name, the name Beef Swirls or Lamb Swirls has been around for many years and that was what they were called when I used to buy them ready made.:-))

I was pottering away in the kitchen baking and I started thinking about this beef swirl/swiss roll business. and yes I realised I obviously didn't conjour up the name after all and yes that is the only name I know this as. not swiss roll. aren't swiss rolls the sponge rolled with jam and cream! Hmmmm

Beef swirls are a rolled & sliced meat/pastry item (think sausage rolls in a different form) while swiss rolls are a sausage meat/mince layered, rolled & sliced item.
