Beef-filled pastries
Description
Delicious pastries for the whole family. Use ready-made puff pastry or make it yourself. The filling should be sautéed before using. Serve the pastries right away, but be careful—they're hot—or after they've cooled down. They're great with tea, as a side to main dishes, or dipped in sauce, such as tomato sauce. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
