2 lb. of Grass Fed beef ( 85-15% fat )
2 package of organic Filo Dough ( Or make your own ) (Phyllo Dough)
1 lb. of organic onions
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup of warm water
1/4 cup of Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of fresh ground pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Mix together 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. (This is your mixture to brush on each filo sheet.)
Oil the round pan (16x3 inch ) place four filo sheets so they overlap on the bottom of the pan and they hang out.
Sauté the onions in 2 tablespoons of hot oil in a pan then add in the ground meat. (don’t cook the meat all the way through)
Add salt and Pepper to taste.
Tear the rest of the filo sheets by hand into smaller parts.
Place some of the meat and onion mixture onto the filo, place some torn filo sheets on top, brush with the vegetable oil and water mixture, and repeat until you have used up all of your filo and meat and almost all of the liquid.
You want to layer the meat and filo.
Now fold the sheets of filo inward and drizzle olive oil in between layer of the sheets.
Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on top of the burek.
Place the burek in the preheated oven and bake at 450 degrees for about 45-55 minutes until golden brown.
Check the bottom to see if it is nice and crispy. Let cool for 10 minutes, cut into 4 parts, goes well with a glass of organic kefir.
Enjoy!
