For the dough:  
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, flour, butter, 2 whole eggs,  
egg yolk, 2 teaspoons salt and olive oil. Knead the mixture into a soft  
dough. Divide the dough in half and cover for 10 minutes. On a floured  
surface, roll each half of the dough into a thin circle, 1/4−inch thick. Cut  
the dough using a 3−inch circle cutter.  
For the filling:  
Season the beef with salt and pepper. In a saut pan, render the ground beef  
for 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain on a paper−lined plate. In a  
mixing bowl, combine the cheese, ground beef, shallots, garlic, green onion  
and egg. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.  
Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle of dough and  
fold over. Press and seal into half−moon shapes. Use a little water to seal  
the pierogi's. In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pierogi for 8  
minutes, or until they float. Remove from the water and drain.  
In a saut pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Sear the pierogi for 2 to  
3
minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Remove from the pan.  
The pierogi will need to be saut ed in batches.
