Philly Cheesesteak Inspired Empanadas are a delicious fusion of two classic dishes. These empanadas are filled with tender steak, sautéed onions, and melted cheese, all wrapped up in a crispy pastry shell. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy dinner or as a party appetizer.
To make these empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound of steak, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 package of empanada dough
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced onion and continue to cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Next, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before filling the empanada dough.
To assemble the empanadas, place a spoonful of the steak and cheese mixture in the center of each empanada dough circle. Fold the dough over and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
