Step-by-Step Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and egg until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3
Divide the dough into small pieces, about the size of a small egg. Roll out each piece into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
4
Place a tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling, forming a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal the dumpling.
5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the pelmeni dumplings to the pot and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
