Pastel de Carne Assado is a savory baked meat pastry hailing from Brazilian cuisine. This popular dish features a flaky, golden crust filled with a well-seasoned mixture of ground beef, onions, garlic, and occasionally olives or hard-boiled eggs for added flavor. The filling is spiced with herbs like parsley and paprika, offering a blend of rich and aromatic tastes. As a baked alternative to fried pastéis, it provides a lighter option while still delivering the satisfying combination of tender meat and crisp pastry. While Pastel de Carne Assado is a good source of protein and iron due to its beef filling, it can be high in calories and fat depending on the pastry dough and the quantity of meat used. Pairing it with a fresh salad or vegetable side can help balance the meal for a more nutritious option.
