Mix flour, water, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine beef, chopped bulbs, beef fat, salt, black pepper, and water.

Roll the rested dough into thin sheets and cut into circles.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a dumpling.

Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch.

Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.
