Ground Beef Dumplings

Homemade ground beef dumplings with tender, elastic dough and savory seasoned beef filling. Perfect for boiling, steaming, or pan-frying.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 11 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups (625g) All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 medium Egg
  • 1 cup Milk
  • ½ cup Water
  • 2 lbs (1kg) Ground beef
  • ¼ cup minced Yellow onion
  • 4 cloves grated Garlic
  • 3 teaspoons Coarse kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander seed
  • 1 handful chopped Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • Make Dough: Mix flour, salt, egg, and milk in mixer bowl. Add water gradually while kneading 5-7 minutes until elastic. Rest covered 1 hour.
  • Prepare Filling: Combine ground beef, garlic, onion, salt, garlic powder, and coriander. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  • Roll Dough: Roll dough portions thin on floured surface. Cut 2.5-inch circles with cookie cutter.
  • Fill Dumplings: Place ½ tablespoon filling on each circle. Pinch edges together to seal completely.
  • Freeze: Arrange on floured baking sheets. Freeze 3+ hours until solid, then transfer to freezer bags.
  • Cook – Boiled: Boil in seasoned water 10-15 minutes until floating. Serve with butter and sour cream.
  • Cook – Steamed: Steam in lined baskets 15 minutes. Serve with vegetables or salad.
  • Cook – Pan-fried: Sear in oil 2 minutes, add water, cover and cook 10 minutes until done.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill dumplings – too much filling makes sealing difficult and causes bursting
  • Keep unused dough covered while working to prevent drying and cracking
  • Test one dumpling first to check seasoning before making the entire batch
  • Frozen dumplings can be stored for up to 3 months and cooked directly from frozen
