Preparing the Ingredients:
Marinate the Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed steak, potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings like paprika and red pepper flakes. Mix until everything is evenly coated. If using, add the chopped fresh herbs last to preserve their flavor.
Assembling the Foil Packets:
Prepare Foil:
Cut large squares of aluminum foil, enough to fold over and seal the ingredients.
Assemble Packets:
Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the foil squares. Place a few pieces of butter on top of each portion.
Fold the foil over the ingredients, then fold up the edges to seal the packets, making sure to leave room for air circulation inside the packets as they cook.
Cooking:
Grilling Method:
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the steak is cooked to your liking and the potatoes are tender.
Oven Method:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the steak is cooked and the potatoes are tender.
Serving:
Serve Directly:
Carefully open the foil packets (watch for steam), and check the doneness. Serve immediately, garnished with more fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
Choice of Steak: Sirloin is a great choice because it’s flavorful and relatively tender, but other cuts like chuck or round steak can also be used.
Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or onions to the mix for added nutrition and variety.
Customizable: Each packet can be customized to individual tastes, which makes this recipe great for families with different flavor preferences.
Garlic Steak & Potato Foil Packets are not only delicious and easy to make but also perfect for a no-mess meal, especially when you’re cooking outdoors or want a simple weeknight dinner. Enjoy the robust flavors and tender, juicy steak with each bite!
