Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add minced onion and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in feta, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Lay one phyllo sheet on a clean surface. Brush lightly with olive oil, then top with another sheet and brush again.
Step 5
Spread one-quarter of the meat mixture along the near edge of the phyllo stack. Roll tightly away from you into a log, tucking in the sides.
Step 6
Place seam-side down on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling to make 4 rolls. Brush tops with remaining oil.
Step 7
Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes, then serve hot.
