Ingredients

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix beef mince, onion, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper.
  2. Gradually add flour to form a stiff dough. Knead until smooth, then rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the dough into thin circles. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each.
  4. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Twist the edges to secure.
  5. In a pot, bring beef broth to a boil. Add pelmeni and cook for 10-12 minutes until they float.
  6. Meanwhile, melt butter in a pan and sauté any remaining filling scraps for extra flavor.
  7. Serve pelmeni in broth with a dollop of sour cream and fresh dill.
  8. Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
