Flaky Chinese beef pies with a savory, juicy filling are a protein-packed street food. A family favorite with bold, fresh flavor in every bite.
Prepare the dough by mixing all-purpose flour with water until a soft, pliable dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Combine the ground beef, chopped green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir thoroughly until the filling is moist and cohesive.
Divide the rested dough into 6 equal portions; roll each piece into a thin circle about 6 inches wide.
Place a generous scoop of beef filling onto the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal. Flatten gently to form a pie shape.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil and cook each beef pie for 3–4 minutes per side, adjusting heat to prevent burning, until golden brown and the filling is fully cooked.
