Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 0.5 cup cold water
- 1 pound ground beef (lean)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 bunch green onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup low sodium beef broth
- 0.25 cup bread crumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon milk
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour and turmeric powder. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry cutter, forming a crumbly texture.
Step 2
2. Add cold water a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. It should be firm but pliable. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
Step 4
4. Add the chopped onion, green onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
5. Stir in the thyme, allspice, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to coat the beef and onions with spices.
Step 6
6. Pour in the low sodium beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow cooking until the liquid is mostly reduced, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
7. Stir in the bread crumbs to thicken the mixture. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
Step 8
8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 9
9. Dust a clean surface with flour. Roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Step 10
10. Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef filling onto one half of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges with a fork to seal.
Step 11
11. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush each patty with the egg wash to help achieve a golden color during baking.
Step 12
12. Place patties on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Step 13
13. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your homemade Low Sodium Jamaican Beef Patties!
