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:
- In a large bowl, combine the steak pieces, halved potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the steak and potatoes are well coated with the seasoning.
- Assemble the Foil Packs:
- Cut four large 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!
