Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the steak pieces, onions, parsley, salt, and pepper, and cook until the steak is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Pat the bread dough on a lightly floured surface into 4- to 5-inch rounds. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture on each dough round. Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle. Pinch the dough edges together, leaving the very center of the pie unsealed so steam can escape while cooking. Set on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and meat mixture, then cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let rise for 10 minutes.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
