Description

Sizzling garlic steak & potato foil packets combine hearty ingredients for a satisfying one-pan meal. Campers and home cooks alike will appreciate this simple, flavorful dish that delivers maximum taste with minimal cleanup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 lb baby potatoes (halved)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Heat grill or oven to 400F (200C), preparing for a sizzling culinary experience.
  2. Create a flavor-packed marinade by whisking melted butter with aromatic garlic, zesty seasonings including salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and fiery red pepper flakes.
  3. Gently fold steak chunks and diced potatoes into the seasoned butter mixture, ensuring each morsel is thoroughly coated with the robust blend of spices.
  4. Lay out four generously sized aluminum foil sheets, ready to transform into individual flavor-packed parcels.
  5. Distribute the seasoned steak and potato mixture evenly across the foil sheets, spreading ingredients in a single layer for optimal cooking.
  6. Drizzle a touch of olive oil over each packet to enhance moisture and richness.
  7. Carefully crimp and fold the foil edges, creating tightly sealed packets that will trap steam and intensify flavors.
  8. Position packets on grill grates or oven rack, allowing direct heat to work its magic for 20-25 minutes.
  9. Verify potatoes are fork-tender and steak reaches preferred doneness, adjusting cooking time if necessary.
  10. Delicately open packets, releasing a burst of aromatic steam, and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
  11. Serve immediately while piping hot, presenting a rustic and flavorful meal directly from the foil.

Notes

  • Make ahead packets can be prepared 24 hours in advance and stored refrigerated, enhancing meal prep convenience.
  • Use lower-fat butter alternatives or olive oil for healthier version without compromising rich flavor profile.
  • Choose lean cuts like sirloin or flank steak to reduce overall fat content while maintaining tender meat texture.
  • Customize spice levels by adjusting red pepper flakes or replacing with smoked paprika for milder heat experience.
