Main Ingredients

  • 500 g Phyllo Dough store-bought or homemade
  • 500 g Ground Beef
  • 1 large Onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
  3. Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Lay out a sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with water. Place another sheet on top and repeat until you have a stack of 3-4 sheets.
  5. Spread a portion of the meat mixture along one edge of the phyllo stack and roll it up tightly. Place the roll on a greased baking tray. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let the burek cool slightly before slicing and serving.
