Steak Pot-Pie Pockets

These are amazing I made 9 and am eating them for lunch this week! They are the perfect serving size and are mouth watering good! There are lots of photos of these so bare with me....















Time to prep/cook: 20 min/ 35 min (Its a lot of time but keep in mind your making a LOT of these lil savory guys)
Servings: 10 (1 pocket is one serving- so if your like me there's only gonna be 5 servings ^_^)
Ingredients:

  • 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup peas
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced green bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots (small pieces!)
  • 3/4 cup of water
  • 3/4 cup of milk (i used 2%)
  • 2-3 tbsp of flour
  • 1 can of 10 biscuits (I used krogers 88cent can of 10 buttermilk biscuits)
  • 1 beef bouillon cube
  • salt
  • pepper
  • dried garlic
  • oregano
  • 1/4-1/2 lb steak (I used 1/2 of a 0.47 lb Beef Shoulder Steak -ideal for marinating apparently) diced into small cubes - about the size of a bouillon cube



                             













Instructions:

  1. In a large pot add the oil, onions, peppers, peas, carrots, and corn, cook on medium until the vegetables are tender
  2. Drain the vegetables and set aside
  3. Using the same pot add the water and the bouillon cube and bring to a boil on high
  4. Once boiling add the milk and start stirring
  5. While stirring add 1 tbsp of flour (you must sprinkle the flour in and not dump it or it will take forever to go into solution with the water and milk) 
  6. Stir in garlic, oregano, and black pepper to taste (yes you can taste this- its just creamier ramen noodle soup minus the noodles)
  7. Lower the heat to med and as the mixture starts to thicken add the cubed steak - make sure you stir- and cook for about 3-5 minutes to ensure your meat cooks all the way through
  8. Next mix in the next tablespoon of flour
  9. Now lower the temperature to low and add the vegetables, let simmer while you get the biscuits ready
  10. Separate the individual biscuits and roll out flat using a rolling pin device - REALLY FLAT- you need it to the center of a muffin tray hole and have a good bit of dough around the outside to fold in to make the top crust
    ***THIS BECOMES EASIER THE WARMER THE DOUGH GETS***
  11. As stated before once rolled out drape over a muffin spot and while holding one space off the edge to let air escape, use your fingers to push the dough down into the muffin container, be careful not to rip the dough! Otherwise you innards will gloop out while cooking...
  12. Once all 10 pocket crusts are ready, use a tbsp and add 2-3 tbsp of the vegetable/steak medly to each pocket, do not overfill! The dough will lower itself without ripping. 
  13. Once all are filled, grab the extra side dough and pull to center pinching all the pieces together
    **IMPORTANT NOTE LEAVE AIR HOLES WHEN BRINGING IN EDGES OR THEY EXPLODE LIKE MINE DID IN THE ABOVE PICTURES
  14. Once sealed top each pocket with a sprinkling of powdered garlic and black pepper
  15. Cook for 10 - 15 min
  16. Once cooked, touch the tops with a little bit of butter to get them to golden :)
  17. ENJOY!!!
