Cut the beef small and dice the potatoes.
Fry the onion and pepper for 5 minutes.
Add the beef and cook for 8 minutes.
Add the potatoes, peas, beef stock, gelatin, and spices, and cook for 12 minutes into a thick filling.
Cool the filling and refrigerate until set.
Knead a soft dough with the flour, butter, eggs, sugar, salt, and water.
Roll out the dough, fill with the cold filling, and seal the edge with a braided fold.
Bake the saltenas at 200°C for 22 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: Chill the juicy filling well; warm filling softens the dough and leaks in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: After baking, rest for 8 minutes and serve when warm enough to eat by hand.
