Begin by marinating the meats to enhance their flavor. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Preparation

Add the chicken, pork, beef, and sausages to the marinade. Make sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Marinate

Preheat Grill

Place the marinated meats on the grill. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, beef steaks for 5-6 minutes per side, and sausages for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.

Grill the Meats

Once grilled, remove the meats from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with your choice of sides.

Sausages

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the egg and cold water until the dough comes together. Knead briefly, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Dough

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the onion and garlic until softened. Add the ground meat, cooking until browned. Stir in bell pepper, olives, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool.

Cook the Filling

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into circles. Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold over, and seal the edges with a fork. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.

Assemble the Empanadas

Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
