Minced Beef Empada is a savory pastry originating from Brazilian cuisine, inspired by European empanadas. This delicious pocket starts with a golden, flaky crust made from flour, butter, and eggs. Inside, it’s filled with seasoned minced beef, onions, garlic, and parsley, often enriched with tomato sauce or olives for added flavor. While its rich filling provides a good source of protein and essential nutrients like iron, the buttery crust makes it calorie-dense and high in unsaturated fats. Traditionally enjoyed as a snack or appetizer, Empadas are versatile and can be paired with fresh salad for added fiber. Though indulgent, moderation and ingredient swaps—like whole wheat flour or lean beef—can enhance its health profile, making it a balanced treat in smaller portions.
