Whenever I think of beef empanadas, my mind travels back to the bustling streets of Buenos Aires, where the aroma of freshly baked empanadas fills the air. This beef empanadas recipe is one of those treasures that brings a piece of Argentina to your kitchen.
- 1 lb ground beef,
- 1 large onion, finely chopped,
- 2 cloves garlic, minced,
- 1/2 cup green olives, chopped,
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped,
- 1 teaspoon cumin,
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- 1 package refrigerated empanada dough discs or homemade dough,
In a large pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix in the green olives and hard-boiled eggs, then set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take an empanada dough disc and place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, then use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the empanada. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the mouthwatering flavors of Argentina right at your table!
