In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes).

Season the Filling

Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the oil and mix until crumbly.

Assembly and Cooking
- 8
Roll Out the Dough
Divide the rested dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter).

Fill the Samosas
Cut each circle in half to form two semi-circles. Take one semi-circle, fold it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a little water. Fill the cone with about 1-2 tablespoons of the beef filling and seal the top edge by pinching it together.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil for frying over medium-high heat.

Fry the Samosas
Once the oil is hot, carefully drop in the samosas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

Drain and Serve
Remove the samosas with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your choice of chutney or sauce.
