Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion (finely chopped)
  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup assorted bell peppers (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup green peppers (finely chopped)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 cloves of garlic (minced)

Phyllo Rolls

  • 1 pound phyllo dough (thawed)
  • 1 cup melted butter

Egg wash

  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • Pinch black pepper
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Sauté In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and chopped onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent but not browned.
  2. Brown Add the lean ground beef to the saucepan. Use a wooden spoon or a meat cutter to break apart the beef and crumble it as it cooks. Continue cooking until the beef is browned.
  3. Combine Stir in the chopped bell peppers, salt, black pepper, paprika, and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the mixture becomes fragrant. Set it aside to cool slightly, which should take approximately 20 minutes.
  4. Preheat Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Brush Lay out the phyllo dough on a large cutting board. Place a damp towel lightly over it to prevent the phyllo from drying out. Take one sheet of phyllo and place it on a flat surface. Layer another sheet of phyllo on top. Brush the phyllo sheets with melted butter until they are evenly moistened.
  6. Roll At the bottom edge of the buttered phyllo sheets, spread 1/2 cup of the ground beef mixture horizontally in a strip. Roll up the phyllo dough tightly, creating one long roll. Place it in a well-buttered 13×9-inch baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets.
  7. There should be a total of 7 to 8 long rolls. Once arranged in the baking dish, slice each roll into four pieces. Cut all the way across the dish. (See picture in post.)
  8. Bake Partially bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  9. Whisk While the rolls are baking, whisk together the milk, egg, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  10. Brush Remove the partially baked phyllo rolls from the oven and brush the milk and egg mixture over all of the rolls making sure to cover them all.
  11. Bake Return the baking dish to the oven, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Notes

  • Set the beef mixture aside to cool slightly (about 20 minutes) before rolling to prevent the phyllo from becoming soggy.
  • Place a damp towel over the phyllo dough to prevent it from drying out while assembling.
  • Brush the rolls thoroughly with melted butter and later with the milk-egg mixture to achieve a beautifully golden crust.
