Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then add the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until a dough forms, adding a splash of water if the dough is too dry. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.
-
Step 2.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the lean raw beef, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, onion juice, chopped onion, and chopped green pepper. Mix well.
-
Step 3.
After the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 1½-inch squares.
-
Step 4.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the meat filling in the center of each square. Fold the dough over to form a triangle and press the edges firmly to seal.
-
Step 5.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the pierogies into the boiling water, a few at a time, and cook for 15 minutes. They will float to the surface when done.
-
Step 6.
While the pierogies are boiling, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and chopped green pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Step 7.
Drain the cooked pierogies and add them to the skillet with the onions and peppers. Fry over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the pierogies start to brown and are crispy on the outside, about 5-7 minutes. Serve hot.
