Beef and Cheese Empanadas Recipe

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces remaining.

Prepare the Filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and bell pepper, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

Assemble the Empanadas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Bake to Golden Perfection: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.
