Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 100 grams frozen peas
- 125 ml beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, low sodium
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 125 ml skim milk
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks, until it's browned.
Stir in the grated carrot, frozen peas, beef broth, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.
While the beef mixture is cooking, prepare the pastry by mixing the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Add the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil and the skim milk to the dry ingredients, and stir until the mixture forms a dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Cut the dough into squares, approximately 12 cm (5 inches) per side.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of each square.
Fold the edges of each square toward the center, forming a packet, and pinch the seams to seal.
Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
