Garlic Steak & Potato Foil Packets are a convenient and delicious meal that combines tender steak, flavorful potatoes, and aromatic garlic. Here’s a simple recipe to make these tasty foil packets:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your preferred cut), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Aluminum foil
Instructions:
- Preheat the Grill or Oven:
- If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
- If using an oven, preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the steak pieces and potatoes.
- Add the olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the steak and potatoes are well-coated with the seasonings and oil.
- Assemble the Foil Packets:
- Cut 4 large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12-16 inches each.
- Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the foil pieces, placing them in the center of each piece of foil.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each portion.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the steak and potatoes, sealing the packets completely to prevent any steam from escaping.
- Cook the Foil Packets:
- Grill: Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the potatoes are tender.
- Oven: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packets to allow the steam to escape.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
- Enjoy your Garlic Steak & Potato Foil Packets straight from the foil for easy cleanup!
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can marinate the steak pieces in a bit of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes before combining with the potatoes and seasonings.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding more garlic, herbs, or cheese if desired.
- Make sure the steak pieces and potatoes are cut into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
Enjoy this easy and flavorful meal that’s perfect for grilling, baking, or even camping!
