jamaican beef patties

Ingredients

1 package of Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry, thawed
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 pound of lean ground beef
1 small red onion, chopped
2 habanero peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons of seasoning salt
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons of curry
2 teaspoons of thyme
½ cup of green onions, chopped
1 cup of beef broth
¼ cup of unseasoned bread crumbs
3 tbs soy sauce
1 egg, beaten

Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground beef and chopped onions, and cook until the beef has browned. Drain any excess liquid from the meat.
  3. Add in the habanero peppers, seasoning salt, garlic, crushed red pepper, curry, thyme, and green onions. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add in the breadcrumbs, soy sauce, and beef broth and simmer on medium heat until the majority of the liquid has evaporated, 7-10 minutes. The filling should still retain some moisture.
  5. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool completely.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°.
  7. Roll out your puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 6 squares.
  8. Add 1 tablespoon of the beef filling to the center of the squares; then fold the puff pastry over and seal by pressing down the corners with a fork.
  9. Brush each patty with the egg wash, and bake for 15-20 minutes until the outsides of the turnovers turn golden brown and flaky.
  10. Serve hot!
