Where to find ingredients
Find fresh produce and meats at local greengrocers and butchery counters. If ground beef is unavailable, finely minced steak can serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan
- Sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan
- Cook the meat while stirring well until all the moisture has evaporated
- Season with salt and pepper to your preference
- Turn off the heat and fold the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the mixture
- Let the filling cool completely before using to prevent the pastry dough from becoming moist or tearing
Observations
A perfect pastry filling must be sufficiently dry so it does not tear the dough. The secret is to ensure the meat is well-browned and completely cold before you begin assembling your pastries.
