Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Beef and Olive Empanada Filling.
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the flour with water until fully dissolved.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 5
Add the raisins and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the raisins are plump.
