About Beef arepas
Beef arepas are a savory dish originating from Venezuelan and Colombian cuisine, celebrated for their satisfying balance of texture and flavor. These handheld delights consist of a cornmeal-based dough that’s griddled to golden perfection, creating a crispy exterior with a soft, chewy center. They're split open and generously stuffed with seasoned, shredded beef, often cooked with aromatic spices like cumin, garlic, and onions for a hearty, flavorful filling. Arepas are naturally gluten-free, thanks to their corn-based composition, making them a suitable choice for individuals avoiding wheat-based products. While rich in protein from the beef, their healthfulness depends on preparation methods; lean cuts of beef and moderate oil use can keep them heartier and less calorie-dense. Pairing them with fresh vegetables or avocado can elevate their nutritional profile, offering fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats for a more balanced meal.
