Directions
Beef-Potato Empanadas With Chimichuri Sauce, While almost any filling can be used in these first course pastries, beef is still the all time Argentine favorite From a September 1986 issue of Bon Appetit in the Bon Voyage section, featuring Buenos Aries, Argentina These can also be a part of an appetizer buffet and are baked, not frozen The chimichuri sauce is also wonderful with plantain chips or served with a steak!, I love it! Have been making it for the last three years I also add mushroom and garlic to steak chopped up to little pieces for the filling so delicious thanks for posting!, These were pretty good and were made to watch Argentina secure it’s place in the 2010 World Cup elimination round I normally make Colombian-style empanadas which are quite different These were nice for a change of pace
