Ground Beef
Sephardic Beef Bourekas
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Steak
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp allspice
- ½ tsp cumin
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1
Brown beef with onion and garlic over medium heat. Season with allspice, cumin, salt and pepper.
- 2
Cook until the mixture is flavorful and fairly dry. Stir in parsley. Cool completely.
- 3
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- 4
Cut puff pastry into 4-inch squares.
- 5
Place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center of each square.
- 6
Fold into a triangle or rectangle and press the edges firmly to seal. Crimp with a fork.
- 7
Brush tops with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- 8
Bake 20–22 minutes until puffed and deeply golden.
- 9
Cool slightly before serving — the filling is very hot.
Butcher's Tip
Seal the edges firmly and double-crimp with a fork — any gap and the filling will leak out and burn on the pan.
