Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Vegetables
- 1 ½ pounds steak (sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 pound baby potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch pieces, halved or quartered)
- 1 onion (peeled, halved, and thinly sliced)
Seasonings and Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or more to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons butter (cubed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cutting the steak into bite-sized pieces and halving or quartering the baby potatoes to roughly 1/2 inch pieces. Peel, halve, and thinly slice the onion. This preparation ensures even cooking inside the foil packets.
- Assemble the Foil Packets: Lay out four large sheets of aluminum foil. Evenly divide the potatoes, onions, and steak pieces among the foil sheets. Drizzle each packet with olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed butter on top and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. This layering of flavors will infuse the steak and vegetables as they cook.
- Cook the Foil Packets: Seal each foil packet tightly to prevent steam from escaping. Place the foil packets on a grill or in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C). Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Carefully open the packets to check and serve hot.
Notes
- For best results, use sirloin or another tender steak cut.
- Adjust garlic quantity to your taste preference.
- Make sure to seal the foil packets tightly to lock in moisture and flavors.
- These packets can also be cooked over a campfire or on a grill pan.
- Check potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork before serving.
