Beef patties are a popular dish, often associated with Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine, known for their flaky golden crust and flavorful beef filling. The filling typically includes ground beef, seasoned with a mix of spices like curry, thyme, garlic, and Scotch bonnet peppers, offering a savory and slightly spicy taste. The pastry is often made from flour, butter, and turmeric, which gives it its characteristic yellow color. Beef patties provide a source of protein and essential vitamins like B12 and iron from the beef. However, they can be high in saturated fats and sodium due to the buttery crust and seasoning. Portion size and preparation play a role in nutritional value, as homemade versions allow adjustments to make them healthier. While they are a convenient and delicious option, moderation is key to enjoying beef patties as part of a balanced diet.
