Pastel de Carne is a popular Brazilian street food known for its crispy, golden pastry filled with seasoned ground beef. Originating from the fusion of immigrant influences and local culinary traditions, this savory hand pie is often enjoyed as a quick snack or appetizer. The dough is traditionally made from flour, water, salt, and a touch of oil or cachaça, while the filling combines ground beef, onion, garlic, green olives, and spices to create a rich, flavorful bite. Typically deep-fried, Pastel de Carne is a source of protein from the beef, but the frying process adds extra calories and fat, which may impact its healthiness. While delicious and satisfying, balancing it with fresh salads or reducing frying frequency can make it a better occasional treat.
