Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the diced bell peppers, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.
5. Add the beef broth and tomato paste and stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is thick.
6. Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface. Use a 4-inch cookie cutter to cut out circles from the pie crusts.
7. Place a tablespoon of the beef and vegetable mixture on one side of each circle. Fold the other side of the circle over to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to press the edges together and seal the empanada.
8. Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the beaten egg over the top of each empanada.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the empanadas are golden brown.
