Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 100 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 large Egg
- 6 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until the meat is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add the salt, black pepper, dried oregano, parsley, and dill to the beef mixture. Stir well to combine and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the whisked egg for brushing later.
Once the beef mixture has cooled slightly, stir in the crumbled feta cheese and the remaining whisked egg. Mix well to incorporate.
Place one phyllo sheet on a clean, flat surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Lay another phyllo sheet on top and brush it with butter, repeating until you’ve layered all six sheets.
Spoon the beef mixture along one of the shorter edges of the phyllo stack, leaving a 2-inch border on each side.
Roll the phyllo tightly over the filling, tucking in the edges as you go to seal the roll. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the entire surface of the roll with the reserved whisked egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into 1-inch thick pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
