These baked beef empanadas are a great dish that you can use as a snack or as a main course. The meat filling of these empanadas has a distinct touch thanks to the marinade of dried chiles, and if you accompany them with a parsley sauce, the flavors will stand out. Follow the step-by-step instructions and to avoid breaking them, be careful not to add too much juice when filling.

Blend the onion, garlic, chiles, oregano, cumin, orange juice, salt, pepper, and vinegar. In a medium skillet, add the oil and cook the onion until it has a shiny tone, add the tomato, the meat, the sauce, and let it brown; add the beef broth, cover, and cook until the meat is tender. Cool and set aside. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 3 mm thick and using a 10 cm round cutter, cut out the disks. Place two tablespoons of the meat right in the middle of each disk, leaving the edges free. With a brush, glaze the edges with the egg, close, and press the edges with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Serve with parsley sauce.
