Ingredients
Method
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the beef cubes to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides.
- Stir in the red bell pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the beef is tender.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Stir in the chopped olives and hard-boiled eggs.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- On a clean surface, take one empanada dough disc and place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center.
- Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.
- Repeat with the remaining dough discs and filling.
- Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with the beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
You can add other fillings like cheese or vegetables for variation.
