Ingredients
- 1 lb puff pastry 1 package, frozen
- 1 lb beef cut into strips
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion small, sliced thin
- 2 garlic clove minced
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp paprika
- ⅛ tsp allspice
- ½ tsp mint fresh, chopped
- 1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp water for egg wash
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat add the olive oil and stir fry the beef until lightly brown.
- Add the onions and garlic and stir.
- Add the spices and mint and the tomato paste and water and blend together well.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for about 25 minutes. The filling should be a bit thick and if not uncover and allow to reduce a bit until thick.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the hot filling out on a glass baking dish or tray to allow to cool. You don't want to add hot filling to the pastry as is will melt it.
- To assemble, roll out each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into 12 inch squares.
- Cut into 9 equal 4x4 squares.
- Place a small amount of filling in the center of a square. Brush the edges around the filling with the egg wash. Top with another square and seal with the tines of a fork.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for about 25 minutes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper until golden brown.
- Serve warm.
