I used some of this tonight in our meal - varoma steamed rump steak.  Placed pieces of steak in 1 piece of alfoil, topped each piece with a knob of butter then sprinkled a heaped tablespoon of the onion mixture over the top, sealed the packages and steamed it for 25 minutes.  Vegies cooking in the steaming basket and around the meat parcels.  Tasted just like we used to do in the 'old days' when we baked it in the oven.

That sounds great Judy.  I can't imagine what steamed steak tastes like. I have never tried it that way. The French onion soup mix would give it lots of flavor.

There is nothing wrong with steamed steak Mandi, most people are put off by it but does the photo look like steamed meat - no and if you didn't tell anyone they wouldn't know either.

I will have to try it JD as I used to love it when my Mum baked steaks in the oven in foil parcels.  She used relish, french onion soup mix and a tsp of water on each steak as the topping.  :)

We had roast lamb tonight with a sprinkle of FOSM. The roast was awesome. Very tasty.

Ok, I have another question lol.  I managed to find celery seeds today at pantry man (was so excited).  what is the onion powder and is that in spice aisle too?  i need to just go to the shops and have a look don't I instead of asking a million questions.

Thanks in advance.

Steamed in the basket Hally then browned on the stove-top whilst the meat was resting.

We had Beef mince patties last night with a couple of Tbsp of the mixture as well. Adds a lovely flavor.

Hi Faffa, I just used the Gourmet Vegetta stock and the flavour is still very yummy.

the gourmet one has MSG in it Dede. I prefer not to use it as DS reacts to it and as I would use this mix a fair bit I think I need to steer clear of it  :(
