Ingredients

  • 9 oz. Steak-umm® Sliced Steaks
  • 1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 package (12) pre-made empanada dough disks (5” size, typically found in the freezer section)
  • 12 slices provolone cheese, cut into 3” disks with a biscuit cutter
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic, to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • Dipping sauce of your choice (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Steak-umm: In a skillet, cook and chop the Steak-umm® with the coarsely chopped onions until the steak is crispy and the onions are caramelized. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Drain excess liquid and set aside to cool, preferably in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Assemble the Empanadas: Place a provolone cheese disk in the center of each empanada dough disk. Add approximately 2 tablespoons of the cooled steak and onion mixture on top of the cheese.
    Seal the Empanadas: Moisten the edges of the dough slightly with your fingertips. Fold the dough in half and press together to seal. Roll the edges or crimp with a fork for a secure seal.
  • Fry the Empanadas: Heat oil of your choice in a skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the empanadas until golden brown, about 6–8 minutes.
  • Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce. Enjoy!
