- Cook the meat while stirring constantly until all the moisture has evaporated.

Observations
The secret to a perfect filling is ensuring it is dry enough so that it doesn't break the dough. It is essential to sauté the meat thoroughly and let the mixture cool down completely before assembling your pastries.
