A Jamaican beef patty is truly something to behold, and not just because it’s a hand pie. A beloved treat in many parts of the Caribbean, and more broadly throughout much of the Jamaican diaspora, a good Jamaican beef patty is made with spicy, savory-seasoned ground beef, encased in a gloriously flaky, and crispy crust—a true feast for the senses. And a great Jamaican beef patty is prety darn near life-changing. Made for us by an expert supplier well-versed in flaky pastry-covered delights, we’re elated to offer Trader Joe’s Jamaican Style Beef Patties as an edible tribute to this spicy street food super star. Each bite of a freshly heated Jamaican Style Beef Patty starts with the rich, melt-in-your-mouth pastry crust, which gets its warm, golden hue courtesy of turmeric. After that, you’re treated to the tender texture of the ground beef inside, which is seasoned with rich and aromatic spices like curry powder, fenugreek, and cayenne. They’re hearty enough to make either a light meal or filling snack, and, conveniently, can be prepared in the oven, microwave, or air fryer. We recommend pairing with a drink that will cut through some of the spice, like a sweet, refreshing 100% Mango Juice or a frosty glass of Drive Thru Red Ale.
