beef filling

Ground meat interior

Beef filling is ground or minced beef prepared as a stuffing for other foods—tacos, dumplings, empanadas, meat pies, stuffed peppers.

The beef is typically seasoned and cooked before being enclosed in pastry, dough, or vegetables: The beef filling for the pierogies needs more salt.
