60 minutes
Chebureks made of beef and pork are juicy, crispy pastries that originated from Tatar cuisine but have become a favorite dish for many nations. Their history traces back to medieval nomadic traditions when meat was wrapped in thin dough and fried in oil to preserve freshness. The crispy crust of chebureks hides a tender, aromatic filling rich in juice inside. This dish is perfect for a quick snack, family gatherings, or street food where each bite offers a rich meaty flavor with hints of fresh herbs and onions. Chebureks are best served hot with sauces or fresh vegetables. Their unique texture and rich taste make them indispensable on any table.

Melt the butter. Divide the dough into small portions and make balls. Roll out the ball (0.3–0.5 mm thick) and use a plate to shape it into a circle. Then place filling on half of the 'pancake' and pinch it to form a crescent. Slightly press the filling in the cheburek and, after shaking off the flour, drop it into the oil. Constantly turn for 3–5 minutes.
