– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 1 cup beef broth

Instructions
1. 1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled, about 5 minutes.
2. 2. Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.

4. 4. Reduce the heat to low and let the goulash simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the flavors have melded.
5. 5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
6. 6. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in a 9-inch pie dish, brushing it with melted butter. Repeat with 7 more sheets, brushing each one with butter.
7. 7. Spoon the beef goulash filling into the phyllo-lined pie dish, then top with the remaining 2 sheets of phyllo dough, brushing with butter.
8. 8. Bake the Egyptian beef goulash (phyllo beef pie) for 25-30 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
9. 9. Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can use a blend of ground beef and ground lamb. Adjust the spices to your personal taste preferences. The cooked pie can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
