Beef Patties For Sin Sul Lo Recipes

MEXICAN MEAT PATTIES WITH FRESH CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Process beef, pork, garlic powder, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. chili powder in a food processor until evenly distributed and well combined, about 2 minutes. Roll mixture into 4 balls.
• Rub one 16x12" piece of parchment with a little bit of oil. Place 1 ball of meat on one half of oiled paper, then fold other half over. Using a rolling pin or wine bottle, gently roll meat into a very thin oval between parchment (it should be about 9x6"). Transfer, with parchment, to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with 3 more sheets of paper and remaining meat. Chill until ready to use.
• Slice kernels off ears of corn and transfer to a large bowl. Add tomato, onion, avocado, chile, lime juice, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. chili powder and stir to combine. Let sit while you cook the patties.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet until smoking. Working one at a time, peel patty off greased parchment and sear until browned and crisped on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook just until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining patties.
• Top patties with corn salsa.
• Do Ahead: Patties can be formed 2 days ahead. Chill in parchment on a covered rimmed baking sheet.

BEEF PATTIES FOR SIN-SUL-LO

Steps:

• Put the meat on a flat surface and press down into a circle about 5 inches in diameter.
• Sprinkle the meat with the remaining ingredients. Fold the meat over itself several times to blend. Chop the mixture with a knife for about 1 minute.
• Shape the meat into 16 to 20 equal portions. Shape the portions into small flat patties or rectangles, each of approximately the same dimensions.

SIN-SUL-LO

Steps:

• Put the mushrooms in a mixing bowl, and add warm water to cover. Let stand at least 30 minutes or until softened.
• Cut the fish fillets on the diagonal into 16 to 20 small rectangles or squares measuring about 1 1/2 inches to a side. Sprinkle pieces with salt.
• Dip pieces in flour; shake off excess. Drop pieces into the beaten egg.
• Brush a Teflon skillet with a little oil, and add the fish pieces in one layer, cooking until the bottom of the egg-coated fish is set. Cook the pieces, turning occasionally, for about 2 minutes without browning. Transfer the pieces to a platter. Cut each piece in half.
• Dip the beef patties into flour and then into the beaten egg.
• Brush the Teflon skillet with a little more oil and, as the egg-coated beef patties are made, add them to the hot skillet. Cook about 1 minute and turn; cook about 1 minute on the second side.Transfer to a plate. Continue until all patties are cooked.
• Line up the scallions into a neat, uniform bundle. Using a sharp knife, cut off the white ends, setting these aside for another use. Cut off the tips of the green parts to make center sections 6 to 7 inches long.
• Coat the scallion sections liberally with flour. Dredge them in the remaining egg. Gather them 4 at a time into neat compact bundles. Heat a little oil in the Teflon skillet, and add as many bundles as the skillet will hold without letting the bundles touch.Cook about 30 seconds on one side until the egg on the bottom sets. Turn and continue cooking, turning once or twice, for a total of 2 minutes. Transfer the bundles to a flat surface, and cut each bundle crosswise into 1 1/2-inch lengths.
• Squeeze the mushrooms to extract excess liquid. Cut the mushrooms into thin slices, and cut the slices into very thin strips. There should be about 1/2 cup. Set aside.
• Drop the carrot into boiling water, and cook until tender. When cool enough to handle, cut lengthwise into thin slices. Cut each slice into neat rectangles measuring about 1 1/2 inches long. Set aside.
• If the ginkgo nuts are used, cook them in a skillet in a little hot oil about 3 minutes. Let cool, and remove the shells. Set nutmeats aside.
• If the walnut halves are used, drop them into boiling water and remove from the heat. Using a toothpick and the fingers, loosen the skin of each walnut half and remove it. (This is a tedious task.) Set them aside after removing the skin.
• Before serving, bring the beef broth to a boil and add the solids -fish, shrimp, dumplings, beef patties and so on. This might be done in a Mongolian fire pot, the round, cylindrical utensil with a chimney, widely available where Oriental cooking utensils are sold. Heat throughly and serve.

JAMAICAN BEEF PATTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, and pinch of salt. Cut in 1/4 cup margarine and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Shape dough into a log, and cut into 10 equal sections. Roll each section into a six inch circle (approximately 1/8 inch thick). Set aside.
• Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until soft and translucent. Stir in ground beef. Season with 1 teaspoon curry powder, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is evenly brown, stirring constantly. Stir in beef broth and bread crumbs. Simmer until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.

• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

BEEF PATTIES

Steps:

• To make the pastry, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and curry powder in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl. Working quickly and using your fingertips, squeeze together the flour mixture and butter and toss it together by scooping under the mixture with both hands. When the mixture resembles a very coarse meal, add the water to the bowl.
• With floured hands, mix and squeeze the dough just until it forms a ball. Knead it once or twice to combine it fully (the less kneading, the better). Spread the dough into 2 pieces, flattening each into a thick pancake. Wrap in plastic and set them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes. (The dough will keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Remove it from the refrigerator a few minutes before using it.)
• For filling, mix together the beef, onion, scallions, garlic, peppers, and thyme in a large bowl. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until it is very hot, and add the beef mixture. Fry until the meat is brown and the moisture is evaporated, about 8 minutes. Add the curry powder, salt, and black pepper, stirring occasionally over high heat, allowing a crust to form on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the water and stir the mixture, scraping the bottom to incorporate the browned crust. Add the breadcrumbs and stir. The consistency should be like a thick stew. Add more water as needed. Cover, reduce the heat to very low, and cook for 15 minutes. Set it aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut each piece of the dough into 9 pieces. Using a rolling pin on a floured surface, roll out each piece of pastry into a rectangle shape with rounded edges. Spread a large spoonful of the cooled meat mixture over one side of the dough, leaving at least 1/2- to 3/4-inch border on the outside edge. Using your finger, paint water around the border. Fold the other side of the dough over, and roll and crimp the edges. Lightly press a floured fork around the edge of the patty.
• Place the patty onto a cookie sheet and repeat the procedure with the remaining dough. The patties may be covered in plastic and frozen at this point for later use. Brush each patty with the egg wash and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the patties begin to turn a golden color.

BAKED BEEF PATTIES

• In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 teaspoons of fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried), water, garlic salt, oregano, paprika and pepper. Add beef; mix well. Shape into four to six patties. Coat patties with flour; dip into egg and then crumbs. In a skillet, brown patties in butter. Arrange in a greased shallow baking dish. Pour half of the spaghetti sauce over patties. Sprinkle with cheeses; top with remaining sauce. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Sprinkle with remaining thyme. Serve patties and sauce on buns if desired.
