Ingredients:
- For the Foil Packs:
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your favorite cut), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon butter, divided into 4 small pieces
Instructions:
- Preheat:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Combine the steak pieces, halved potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss everything together until the steak and potatoes are well coated with the seasoning.
- Assemble the Foil Packs:
- Cut four pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×18 inches each). Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the foil pieces. Place a small piece of butter on top of each pile of steak and potatoes.
- Seal the Packs:
- Fold the foil over the steak and potatoes, then fold the edges to seal tightly, creating a packet. Ensure there are no gaps where juices can escape.
- Cook:
- Grill Method: Place the foil packs on the preheated grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the potatoes are tender.
- Oven Method: Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the steak is cooked to your liking and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packs (watch out for steam). Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips:
- For added flavor, marinate the steak pieces in your favorite steak marinade for a few hours before combining with the potatoes and seasoning.
- Adjust cooking times based on the thickness of your steak pieces and the size of the potato pieces.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
Enjoy your sizzling garlic steak and potato foil packs as a delicious and convenient meal perfect for any occasion!
