Chinese Chili Beef with Puff Pastry Pockets
Pane-Bistecca
The Chinese Chili Beef with Puff Pastry Pockets is absolutely delicious! At the Chinese restaurants here, this beef is dark red, due to the addition of natural food coloring or annatto powder. I didn’t do that, but it doesn’t detract from the dish. It’s easy to cook, but you need to have prepared everything well beforehand, cook it and then it’s ready to eat.
They are served with pockets that are filled with the chili beef, but since I couldn’t find a good recipe for this, I baked simple puff pastry pockets. They went very well with it!
