What is parchment beef?!


Question: What is parchment beef?
When I was a kid we used to go to this restaurant called "the jade tarace" and they had on the menu parchment beef. It came in little foil triangles and the meat was in side. It was so good. But what was it, and how do I make it. Please be serious don't tell me it's dog or something.
