Quarantime Dinners

We found two steaks. They were in the back of our freezer, ancient and irreparably frostbitten, of uncertain provenance (but probably Costco). In the Before Times, we would have thrown them the hell away. Now, they become empanadas.

You know two old steaks make like twenty-five new empanadas? Magic. Pandemic magic. Some things stretch, others contract.

Dice up whatever meat you have and saute it with some diced onion, potatoes, spices. A little liquid to make a sauce--chicken broth if you have it, or beer. The New York Times has a recipe for beef empanadas you can follow if you want one.
