Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.5 cup cold water
- 1 pound ground beef (lean)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 bunch green onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup low sodium beef broth
- 0.25 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and turmeric powder. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry cutter, forming a crumbly texture.
2. Add cold water a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. It should be firm but pliable. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
4. Add the chopped onion, green onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the thyme, allspice, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to coat the beef and onions with spices.
6. Pour in the low sodium beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow cooking until the liquid is mostly reduced, about 5 minutes.
7. Stir in the bread crumbs to thicken the mixture. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles approximately 6 inches in diameter.
10. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef filling onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges with a fork to seal.
11. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush each patty with the egg wash to help achieve a golden color during baking.
12. Place patties on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
13. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Low Sodium Jamaican Beef Patties!
