How to Make Beef Curry Pillows

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb beef stew meat over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 inch ginger (grated) to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Add 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup beef broth, and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Unfold 1 package (14.1 oz) puff pastry. Cut into 8 squares.
  8. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef curry mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
  9. Fold the pastry over to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  10. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
  11. Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  12. Brush the tops with 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp milk.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
