9 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 onions chopped
  • 3 spring onions sliced
  • 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 1 1/8 pounds beef minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 3/4 tablespoons mineral water
  • 3 3/8 tablespoons sunflower oil
  • 1 1/8 pounds filo pastry

Directions

  1. 1
    Add beef and saute for 5-8 minutes on medium heat. With a flat-topped wooden spoon break up the meat lumps into small pieces.
  2. 2
    Remove meat from the flame, add salt and pepper, stir and let cool for 15 minutes.
  3. 3
    In the meantime, combine mineral water and oil in a small cup.
  4. 4
    Cover the bottom of the oiled round pan, 25-30 cm in diameter, with 4 filo sheets. The sheets should overlap at the bottom of the pan and the hang out over the pan edge. Sprinkle each sheet with the water and oil mixture.
  5. 5
    Evenly distribute a quarter of the total amount of meat. Tear 2 filo sheets into smaller pieces, cover the meat, sprinkle with some water and oil mixture. Repeat until all meat is used - the last layer should be the meat.
  6. 6
    Fold inward the overhanging sheets of filo, sprinkle with the water and oil mixture. To have a nicer looking top of the burek, cut one filo sheet into a circle and place it as the top layer (sprinkle with the water and oil mixture as well).
  7. 7
    Cover the top of the burek pan with the aluminum foil. Bake the burek in an oven at 200 C for 40 minutes. Uncover the burek for the last 10 minutes and bake until golden.
  8. 8
    Leave the burek to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting it into quarters (similar to pizza wedges).
  9. 9
    Serve with yogurt or green salad or pickles.
