1
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until the onions are translucent.
2
Cook the Beef
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Stir in chopped parsley, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
3
Assemble the Burek
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a clean surface, lay out a sheet of phyllo dough. Brush with melted butter or oil. Place a spoonful of the beef and onion mixture in the center. Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle or roll it up as desired. Seal the edges well.
4
Bake
Place the assembled burek on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with more melted butter. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
