Ingredients
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 large sheets of aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get ready for cooking the foil packs.
- Combine Steak and Potatoes: In a large bowl, mix the sirloin steak pieces and quartered baby potatoes together to start building the base of the dish.
- Season the Ingredients: Add olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss thoroughly until the steak and potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Prepare the Foil Packs: Divide the seasoned steak and potatoes evenly among the 4 large sheets of aluminum foil. Fold and seal the foil tightly to create individual packets, which will help trap steam and flavors during cooking.
- Cook the Foil Packs: Place the foil packets directly on the grill, cooking for about 10-12 minutes on each side. If using the oven, bake the packets for 20-25 minutes until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Carefully open each foil pack to avoid steam burns. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh burst of flavor and color.
Notes
- Be cautious when opening foil packets as hot steam will escape.
- Use medium-high grilling heat to avoid undercooking or burning.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness and cut of steak.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with small Yukon Gold or red potatoes for variation.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or sprinkle of red pepper flakes before sealing packets.
