Ingredients

- Onion
- Green scallions
- Black pepper
- White sesame seeds
Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare the crispy outer pie crust (You Su Pi) with lard and flour as usual.
- Mix finely chopped beef tallow into lean-heavy minced beef to supplement juiciness.
- Add plenty of black pepper, soy sauce, wine, and a little five-spice to the beef, kneading until sticky.
- While pork Hujiao Bing classically uses 'green scallions', the key for beef is to mix 'chopped onions' with green scallions to enhance sweetness.
- Wrap the beef filling and onion/scallion mix in the dough, coat with white sesame, stick to the clay oven's inner wall, and bake rapidly at high heat.

Trivia
[For Everyone] A popular variation for those who don't eat pork or youth seeking a heartier 'meaty' feel. The inclusion of onions gives it a Western-style face like a spicy meat pie.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Because the meat juices are lighter than pork, let the crust absorb the juices thoroughly, and chew the umami of lean beef and the sweetness of onions!
