Description
A delicious and crispy appetizer featuring seasoned ground beef wrapped in flaky filo pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 pack filo pastry sheets (about 12 sheets)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Filling:
– Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
– Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until it is browned.
– Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and cumin. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the flavors are well infused. Set aside to cool. - Assemble the Rolls:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
– Take one sheet of filo pastry and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat until you have 3 layers.
– Cut the layered filo into 3 equal strips.
– Place a spoonful of the beef mixture at one end of each strip and roll up carefully, tucking in the sides as you go along to enclose the filling. - Baking:
– Place the rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with more melted butter.
– Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
– Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the filo is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Keep the filo pastry sheets covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent them from drying out.
- You can add other spices or herbs to the beef mixture according to your taste preferences.
- Serve with a side dipping sauce such as soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for extra flavor.
