I define this as a “lockdown” recipe; however, in reality I make these pouches all the time. This one was done with steak, but you could use chicken, pork, fish… whatever. It is a fun thing to put together for young and old, and the variations are endless. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).

    Chop up your chosen protein, I am using chuck steak.
  • 5
    Add it to a bowl with the tamari sauce (liquid aminos), and onions.
  • 6
    Let it rest, covered, in the fridge for about an hour, or so.

    Resting is optional, but it does help all the flavors to blend together.

    Draw up the sides, and twist into a beggar’s pouch.
  • 11
    Place into the preheated oven for 45 – 50 minutes.
  • 12
    While it was cooking, I toasted up some bread cubes, and that is what I served it over. But, you could just a easily serve it over rice, or a nice steaming plate of mash potatoes. Mmm mmm mmm.
