The dominant flavors are savory beef and melted cheese, often accented by aromatic spices and herbs. The pastry provides a crispy, oily counterpoint to the rich filling.
The ground beef is typically seasoned with onions, garlic, parsley, and sometimes other spices like cumin or paprika. The cheese used is often a mild, melting cheese like mozzarella or a similar Brazilian variety. The pastry is deep-fried, resulting in a crispy, slightly oily exterior that contrasts with the savory and melty interior.

Cheese Selection
Choose a cheese that melts well and complements the beef flavor. Queijo Minas padrão or mozzarella are good choices.
Pastry Consistency
Use ready-made pastel dough for convenience, but ensure it's fresh. If making it from scratch, aim for a thin, pliable dough that crisps up beautifully when fried.
Frying Temperature
Maintain the oil temperature at around 350-375°F (175-190°C) for even cooking and a crispy crust. Avoid overcrowding the fryer, which can lower the oil temperature.
Sealing the Pastel
Ensure the edges of the pastel are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying. Use a fork to crimp the edges securely.
