Bring a pan of water to a boil and cook the eggs for 12 minutes, until hard, then let them cool under cold running water. Peel the boiled eggs and mash them up in a bowl.

1

Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat with some olive oil and brown the ground beef for 8 - 10 minutes. Then add the garlic and spices.

2

Add the chopped onion and jalapeno, cooking for 3 - 4 minutes with the ground beef.

3

Combine well the mashed boilde eggs with the meat mixture.

4

Place the empanada dough disks on a cleaned, lightly floured surface, and spoon the meat mixture (2 heaping tablespoons) onto the disks (just a little off-center).

5

Brush the edges of the disks with water and gently fold them in half, pressing the edges together to seal them. Use a fork to press down on the edges to completely seal the empanadas.

6

Use a pastry brush to brush the tops with the beaten egg yolk wash.

7

Place the beef empanadas in a baking rack and bake them in the preheated oven for 20 - 25 minutes until they're golden brown.

8

Remove the beef empanadas from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before eating them and serving with chimichurri.

Cooking Tips

If the mixture is too watery, you can add 1 - 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to help thicken it up.

01

These beef empanadas can be made ahead of time and frozen for up to 2 months. Place the unbaked empanadas on a baking sheet and freeze them, then transfer the frozen empanadas to an airtight container.
