Where to find ingredients
Look for minced beef, eggs, onion, garlic, oil, salt, and black pepper at any supermarket, neighbourhood grocery, or fresh market; for the best result, choose the meat counter for freshly minced beef and the produce section for onion and garlic.
Preparation method
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a saucepan
- Sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the minced beef to the saucepan
- Cook the beef, stirring well, until all the moisture has evaporated
- Season with salt and pepper to taste
- Turn off the heat and fold the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the mixture
- Let the filling cool completely before using it so the pastel dough stays dry and does not tear
Observations
A perfect filling needs to be quite dry so it does not tear the pastel dough. The secret is to make sure the beef is well sautéed and cooled before assembling.
