Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish and Optional
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon butter per foil pack (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even cooking for the foil packs.
- Season the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sirloin steak cubes and baby potatoes. Add olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the steak and potatoes are thoroughly coated with the seasonings.
- Prepare Foil Packs: Divide the mixture evenly among four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. If desired, place a small pat of butter on top of each portion to enhance flavor and moisture during cooking.
- Seal the Foil Packs: Fold each foil sheet over the steak and potatoes, sealing the edges tightly to create individual packets that will lock in moisture and flavor.
- Cook: Place the foil packs on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes per side, or alternatively bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the steak reaches your preferred level of doneness.
- Serve: Carefully open each foil pack (watch out for hot steam), sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for freshness, and serve while hot.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, marinate the steak for 30 minutes before cooking using your favorite marinade.
- You can substitute baby potatoes with sweet potatoes or add vegetables such as sliced bell peppers or mushrooms to the foil packs.
- These foil packs are perfect for camping trips, cookouts, or quick and easy weeknight dinners.
