• Pour 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk over the top of each mound of steak and rice.
• Sprinkle the remaining onion soup mix evenly over the rest of the steak in each packet.
• For each sheet of foil, bring the short ends of the foil together over the rice and steak. Press together and fold down securely over the food. For each end, fold the corners in, and then continue folding until you have a nice secure packet. See photos!
• Place the 4 packets on a large baking sheet.
