    Why does the meat have to be unseasoned?? You know you can season it right?

      Yeah I should have clarified. Steaming meat in pastry forgoes the Maillard reaction so it ends up as a roll of bland ingredients that have been “wasted” in the sense they didn’t at all live up to their flavor potential.

        You can also pre-sear the meat to get the maillard reaction

          Which is the standard it seems, going by a quick search.
