How to Make Baked Beef Samosa
Step #1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Samosas are usually deep-fried or baked until they become golden and crispy on the outside. The samosa is made in different shapes, depending on the region, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes. Samosas are a popular entrée, appetizer, or snack in the local cuisines of South Asia, Western Asia, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, and Africa.
MAKE TIME FOR THIS RECIPE
This beef samosa recipe takes a little time to make due to the time it takes to fill the pastry, but it is fun and gets done faster if you invite a family member or friend to help! The time to make this on the recipe card assumes you are doing it yourself. It takes about 2 minutes to fill each beef samosa and since this yields 25-30, the time to fill the samosas is about an hour.
Make the Samosa Filling
Step #1: Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and salt lightly, and bring the water to a boil. Step #2: Gently pour in the potatoes and peas, being careful not to get any hot water on you. Step #5: Use a large saucepan and pour in the vegetable oil, heating it with medium-high heat. Step #8: Mix in the fresh ginger and garlic.
Fill the Samosas
Step #2: Open the phyllo package, unroll it, and lay it onto wax paper. Step #3: Peel off one phyllo sheet and place it onto another piece of wax paper, then cover the rest of the phyllo sheets with wax paper or they will dry out quickly.

Serve
If you want to extend their shelf life, you can freeze them for up to 2-3 months. Place the samosas in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When reheating, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F(180°C) for about 15-20 minutes until they are heated through and crispy.
