Immersion Blender

Stainless Steel Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display, Batteries Included

Ravioli Cutter Wheel,Pastry Wheel Cutter with Long Wooden Handle

Wilton Perfect Results Premium Non-Stick Bakeware Pizza Pan for Oven, 14-Inch Steel Pan
Patty Crust

Ingredients:
1 lb. Flour
½ lb. Cold Grated Beef Suet (Butter is a decent substitute)
½ tbsp Sugar
½ tsp Salt (Optional, especially if your using salted butter)
~½ cup Ice cold water
~2 tbsp Egg Powder (Tumeric or Curry can be subbed here but anticipate a flavour change)

Method:
Note: You can chill all the ingredients and bowl for the best result
In a bowl, combine the flour, egg powder and half the cold Beef Suet (¼ lb.). Keep the rest of suet in the fridge to stay cold
Mix to distribute all the ingredients evenly.
About 1 tablespoon at a time add the ice cold water and mix dough until the flour is hydrated and the dough comes together.
Chill dough in refrigerator for about 30-40 minutes
Lightly flour rolling pin and work surface
Remove dough from the fridge and roll out into a rectangle, folding the dough helps to make a neater rectangle.
Remove the second half of the Beef Suet from the fridge and place a quarter of it in the center third of the rectangle
Fold the bottom third of the rectangle over the middle third with the beef suet
Place another quarter of the beef suet over the folded over bottom third of the dough
Fold over the top third of the dough over the beef suet to complete a thick rectangle.
Roll out dough to make a rectangle similar to the one we started with.
Repeats steps 7-11 until all the suet is done
Fold and roll the dough 2 or 3 more times to increase the layers and flakiness, wrap tightly and refrigerate for 30- 40 minutes.

Mince Beef Filling
Ingredients:
1 lb Lean Ground Beef
2 tsp Curry Powder
2 tbsp Chopped Garlic
3 tbsp Chopped Onion
2 tbsp Chopped Escallion/Green Onion/Spring Onion
1 tbsp Chopped Scotch Bonnet Pepper
1 tsp Ground Pimento/Allspice
3 Tbsp Chopped Green Bell Pepper
½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Sugar
¼ Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup Panade (Simply 3 slices of bread blended smooth with ~½ cup water)
1 Sprig of Thyme (I didn't use it in the video but it's great)
1 tbsp Seed and Chopped Tomato (Not in the video either but it's delicious!)

Method:
Brown mince beef; in a pot add a splash of oil and let it get hot before adding the ground beef, as soon as the beef changes colour remove from pot to another container and place the pot back on the heat
Add another splash of oil to the pot, let it get hot then add the curry powder and saute for about a minute
Add Garlic, Onion, Escallion, Scotch Bonnet Pepper, Pimento, Thyme and Allspice and give it a good saute on high heat.
Add Chopped Bell Peppers and Tomato if your using them and saute for about another 2 to 3 minutes
Strain excess fat from mince beef and add to the pot
Add Soy Sauce and Panade to the filling
Add Salt and Sugar after tasting and simmer for about 2 minutes
Which an immersion blender, blend the filling so its less chunky and more smooth, a food processor or regular blender also works pretty well.
Set aside to cool

Assembly!

Remove dough from fridge and divide if necessary
Roll out dough into a rectangle that's about 3 mm thick.
With a quarter cup measure, measure out the now cool filling (smaller portions are also okay, the measuring cup is only for consistency of portions)
Place filling at regular intervals on the rectangular dough avoiding getting too close to the edge.
Now is the time to add a bit of your favourite cheese
Fold over the long edge of the dough over the filling to form a thinner rectangle then pat out excess air from between the dough.
Use a ravioli cutter to cut out the patties!
Another technique is to cut out circles with a large cookie cutter or bowl, place the filling in the center, fold over dough to form a semicircle and use a fork to seal the edges.
Place on a lined baking tray and bake patties in a preheated oven at 325 to 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.

I finally tried this recipe today and my family was amazed by the authenticity of the flavors and not to mention the crust!! . Hands down the best patty recipe on the internet.

If I introduced these to my diet I'd be 90% beef patty.

I never knew how strenuous the process was for Jamaican Patties. Wow. A labor of love.

[crystallin]

The Jamaican beef patty is one of the best tasty food in the world! Approved by a Chinese.

For those who don't have egg powder, use half of the water and 1 whole egg (larger the better). The water content in the egg accounts for roughly 1/4 cup.

The Jamaican beef patty should be as well known & popular as tacos, pizza & buffalo wings! They are amazing!

[michaelanunez]

Took me two tries. But I must say... your method is spot on... flaking was perfect. And the taste... 😊😊😊 Thank you for taking the time to post and explain step by step.
Stay Blessed.

I grew up in NYC ... It was either Colombian Empanadas or Jamaican Beef Patties... This recipe is AMAZING!

[szlashz]

How many of y'all are watching this after eating some frozen Beef Patties from the store, you didn't even search for how to make them but Youtube KNEW you were thinking about how to make them yourself? Just me? 😅

[GaySexHaver]

It's 12am and I'm wide awake and this is making me want to go to my 24hr supermarket and get all the ingredients to make these right now. I'm so glad this appeared on my front page, they look amazing~

I used to live across the street from a Jamaican food place. I would go and get the beef patty with cheese and coco bread every single time I could afford it 🤤 one of my favorite snacks/meals of all time. I don’t live anywhere near a place that sells them anymore so now I’ll have to learn to make it 😅

[DL-cscj]

This is one of the best cooking videos and lessons I have ever seen. Very relaxed, low pressure, and smooth delivery. Thank you for all the hard work and research into putting this together. I am always looking to expand my recipes for my family and have always loved authentic Jamaican beef and jerk chicken patties. I will be trying this very soon.

[bennymartin]

Thank God I live in Florida and there's Jamaican restaurants and bakeries everywhere. I love it

[PregnantWAwkwardness]

I always thought there wasn't something right about the curry and tumeric this really does look like the authentic Jamaican Patty, especially that flaky texture!

[jeanettebent]

THIS IS THE BEST, THE BEST I SUBSTITUTED THE BEEF FOR VEGAN BEEF AND IT WAS JUST

[luzguillen]

I am dominican with over 45 years cooking. Brother thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. I know it's taste deliciosoooo.

[beanboy]

This seems like the best recipe online for true Jamaican beef pattys. Looks great, thanks.

[ladiejaymes]

The combination of the filming, lighting, food preparation, music, voice-over, and background sounds of nature are simply mesmerizing! 💯 💯 💯 I'm hooked! I had to hit subscribe!

[wiltmarlonelao]

I feel lucky that I came across this channel. I’ve always been curious with Jamaican cuisine ever since I’ve had those patties (surprisingly, they sell ‘em here in the Philippines). I don’t think the patties sold here are as good as the one you make though, so I should probably try this out myself too. I hope you make it big here in YouTube!

[marvapickmac]

I made this and my husband and children loved it. The crust was flaky. Yummy thank you
