Sarajevo burek is the spiral or rolled phyllo pie filled with minced beef and onions, baked under a coal-heated sac metal lid for the canonical version.
Burek arrived in Bosnia from the Ottoman borek tradition during the 1463 to 1878 imperial period and crystallised on Bravadziluk as the Sarajevo phyllo street-food anchor. The phrase 'Burek je samo s mesom' (burek is only with meat) marks the Bosnian dialect's split from Yugoslav and Turkish usage. Buregdzinica Sac on Mali Bravadziluk has pulled burek under sac for more than 200 years.
