Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound (1 lb) sirloin steak, cut into cubes
Vegetables and Starch:
- 1 pound (1 lb) baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Extras:
- 3 tablespoons (3 tbsp) olive oil
- 4 tablespoons (4 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) paprika
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 tsp) crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Ignite the grill to medium-high temperature or heat the oven to 400F (200C) for optimal cooking conditions.
- Slice four generously sized aluminum foil sheets to create individual cooking pouches.
- Drizzle olive oil and melted butter over steak and potatoes, then shower with minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Massage ingredients thoroughly to ensure complete coating.
- Distribute the seasoned mixture equally across the prepared foil sheets, ensuring even coverage and consistent flavor distribution.
- Carefully envelop the ingredients, crimping edges tightly to create sealed, leak-proof packets that trap moisture and intensify flavors.
- Grill for 10-15 minutes per side or bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until potatoes reach a tender, succulent consistency.
- Delicately unfurl the packets, revealing the aromatic contents, and optionally sprinkle with cheese for added richness.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while the meal remains piping hot and bursting with flavor.
Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting red pepper flakes for heat-sensitive palates or bold flavor seekers.
- Create vegetarian version by swapping steak with firm tofu or portobello mushrooms, maintaining similar seasoning technique.
- Ensure even cooking by cutting potatoes and steak into uniform bite-sized pieces to guarantee consistent texture and doneness.
- Prevent packet leaks by double-folding edges and creating tight seals, which locks in moisture and prevents juices from escaping during cooking.
