Why it works: Sauce and flour are a kitchen classic. They rank in the top 18% of all ingredient pairs, and cooks put them together in 8,078 recipes. Both carry ethanol, which smells alcoholic, ethereal. The science ↓

Meats

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Roll out the dough to ¼ inch thickness and grease a quart bowl.

  2. Line the bowl with the rolled dough.

  3. Add steak and kidney to the bowl, then pour catsup and Worcestershire sauce over the top.

  4. Fill the bowl with cold water to within 1 inch of the top.

  5. Roll out the remaining dough to fit the bowl and cover the meat, pinching the edges together.

  6. Dip a towel in hot water, flour it slightly, and tie it tightly over the bowl to seal in the juices.

  7. Place the bowl in a large saucepan of boiling water and boil for 2.5 hours.
