Method

1. Warm the milk until lukewarm, stir in the yeast and sugar, and let it stand until foamy.
2. Mix the flour and salt, then work in the melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture to form a soft dough. Knead until smooth and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Finely chop the onion and cook it in a little butter until soft. Add the beef, salt, and pepper and cook until the meat is browned and the moisture has evaporated. Cool completely.
4. Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Flatten each, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and pinch the edges firmly to seal.
5. Arrange seam-side down on a lined tray, cover, and let rise for 20 minutes. Brush with beaten egg yolk.
6. Bake at 190°C until deep golden, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
