Beef Empanadas
- 1 (9-ounce) package pie crust mix
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 leftover steak from the Salisbury Steak recipe
- 1/4 cup leftover gravy from the Brown Gravy recipe
- Make the pie crust according to package directions.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a small bowl mix together the egg with the cold water to create an egg wash. Set aside.
- Divide the dough into 6 even pieces, and roll each into a ball.
- On a floured work surface roll out each piece of dough, with a rolling pin, into 1/4-inch thick rounds about 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
- Using a small bowl as a template cut around to form perfect circles.
- Break the leftover Salisbury Steak into small pieces and add it to a bowl with the leftover Brown Gravy.
- Stir to combine.
- Put a heaping tablespoon of the meat mixture into the middle of each piece of dough.
- Brush the edges of the circles with egg wash.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half circle.
- Press the edges together and seal them again with the tines of a fork to make pretty borders.
- Brush the tops of the empanadas with the egg wash.
- Arrange the empanadas on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the empanadas from the oven to a serving platter and serve.
