Jamaican Beef Patties

all-purpose flour

salt

sugar

Jamaican curry powder

turmeric powder

(2 sticks) unsalted butter, grated

water

olive oil

beef (I use grass-fed)

yellow onion, finely chopped

garlic paste garlic

ginger paste ginger

kosher salt & black pepper,

thyme

Jamaican allspice

scotch bonnet peppers, deseeded & finely chopped (use gloves)

scallions (green onion), chopped

chicken stock or broth, plus more as needed

breadcrumbs

unsalted butter, cubed

In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, sugar, curry powder, and turmeric powder together. Whisk the dry ingredients well to combine. Then add in (or grate the butter over the bowl) the grated butter. Use your hands (fitted with disposable gloves, if desired) to pinch the butter into the dry mixture until little pea-sized bits form throughout and all the butter is coated with the flour mixture.

Then make a small well in the center of the mixture and pour in the ice-cold water. Use your hands, again, to bring everything together as much as you can. Empty out the bowl and all residual bits onto a clean surface. Use your hands to knead the dough together, squeezing the dough onto itself until the dough forms into one cohesive mass with no dry bits.

Shape the dough into a ball and then cover with plastic wrap. Transfer the dough into the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.

For the dough:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom of the skillet with the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add in the ground beef. Use a wooden utensil to cook the beef, stirring often, until completely browned. Then add in the chopped onion, and continue cooking, about 3-4 minutes or until the onions are tender.

Stir in the garlic and ginger and continue cooking. Then add in the thyme, allspice, curry powder, scotch bonnet, and scallions. Stir together and continue cooking mixture for another 2-3 minutes. 

Pour the stock/broth into the skillet and stir to combine for 1 minute. Then stir in the breadcrumbs and mix well until they&#8217;re mostly absorbed by the beef mixture. Add in the cubed pieces of butter and stir well until all butter has melted through. Note: At this point, look for the beef mixture to be juicy and moist. If your mixture is dry, add in a splash more of stock/broth until the mixture is visibly moist (but not watery). Then remove from heat and allow the beef mixture to cool down before assembling beef patties.

For the beef filling mixture:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Position the oven rack into the center of the oven. Then line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, foil, or a silpat liner and then set the baking sheet aside.

Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and divide the dough into equal pieces for patties. I like to use a kitchen scale to get a uniform size in each piece of dough (I make mine 5 ounces each, which will result in a total of 8 beef patties). You can make yours smaller for more patties as well.

After gathering the pieces of dough, roll them in the palms of your hands into a smooth ball. Then use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a round shape that is about 3 millimeters.

Fill one side of the pastry with about 4 tablespoons of the beef filling mixture. For smaller patties, use 2 tablespoons. Then fold the empty side of the pastry over the beef filling, forming a crescent shape (half-moon). I like to bring the two pastry edges together and tuck/roll them under for extra measure, see video demonstration.

Then carefully flip the patty over and use a fork to crimp the edges. Place the patty onto the prepared baking sheet and repeat the process until all patties have been assembled and placed onto the baking sheet with a little space in between each one.

Bake the beef patties for 25-30 minutes or until they achieve a light, golden brown color. Allow the patties to cool down for 5 minutes. Then serve immediately. Enjoy!

SO GOOD!

There was a Caribbean restaurant near my office that sadly closed down last year. I made your recipe last night, and it is exactly like their beef patties! Brought back great memories.

Soooo, these are bomb! This was like a week long affair for me to make, ha! I live in a small town, so several of the spices weren't readily available to me; thankfully, I found several really close options and had some unique spices from when I lived in more diverse cities.

Once I gathered everything, it took me several hours to get everything done and try them, but I move slowly by nature and get lost in details, so I knew it would take me a while. :)

But, when I tell you it was worth it! Took me right back to my time in rural Jamaica in 2019! All that was missing was the coco bread!

Fam tried it and thought they smelled good and tasted alright too! I was the most enthused, though, and that's probably because I have something to compare it to, share a connection to Jamaica, and invested time in making them! Again, worth every second and the memories it brought back!

Big ups, Quin!

These were really wonderful and so, so tasty. The dough was so easy to work with and the whole meal came together easier than I had imagined. My four-year-old has recently renounced curry (to his Malaysian mother’s dismay) and even he absolutely loved these. We will be making this again and again. Thank you so much Quin!
