KOSHER PUFF PASTRY BEEF STRUDEL (MEAT)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F/200 C/Gas 6. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper .
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute just until soft and translucent, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute more or until fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, tomato puree or ketchup, breadcrumbs or matzo meal , egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in the onion and garlic mixture.
• Roll out the puff pastry until thin. Spread the meat mixture lengthwise on the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Fold in the sides of the dough over the meat. Then, roll the dough up over the meat, like a jelly roll.
• Place the strudel on the prepared baking pan. Brush the strudel with the egg yolk, and sprinkle evenly with sesame seeds.
• Bake for 40 minutes or until the pastry is puffed, crisp and golden and the filling is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow the strudel to rest 10 minutes, then cut and serve warm. Offer warm marinara sauce on the side if desired.
• Serve and enjoy. Note: serve the strudels whole for a family-style meal. Or for a more elegant presentation, plate individual slices atop your favorite tomato-based sauce.
