Chop the dried apricots small and soak them with the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes.
Warm the braised beef in a pan for 5 minutes.
Coarsely break the walnuts and mix them with the braised beef, raisins, apricots and black pepper.
Melt the butter and mix it with the honey.
Layer the thin pastry sheets in the tray, brushing each layer with honey butter.
Spread the beef filling in the middle layer and cover with the remaining pastry sheets in the same way.
Bake the borek at 190°C for 30 to 35 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: Brushing the thin pastry layers without soaking them keeps the borek both crisp and full.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with ayran and roasted peppers.
