Chinese Beef Puff Pastry Pies

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chinese Beef Puff Pastry Pies

1. Prepare the Beef Filling

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add sesame oil.
2. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.
4. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, sugar, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef.
5. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions. Allow the filling to cool completely.

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
3. Cut the pastry into equal-sized squares or circles, depending on your preferred pie shape.

3. Assemble the Pies

1. Place a spoonful of the cooled beef filling in the center of each pastry piece.
2. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle, rectangle, or half-moon shape, depending on your cut.
3. Press the edges with a fork to seal, ensuring no filling leaks during baking.
4. Transfer the pies to the prepared baking sheet.

4. Apply the Egg Wash

1. Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish.
2. Use a knife to make a small slit or poke a few holes on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
