Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Vegetables and Starches:
- 1 pound (454 grams) baby potatoes, halved
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Seasonings and Fats:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
Instructions
- Heat grill to medium-high (around 400°F) or preheat oven to 400°F, preparing cooking surface for foil packet preparation.
- Combine sliced steak, diced potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly coated and seasoned.
- Create four separate large aluminum foil sheets, evenly distributing the seasoned steak and potato mixture across each packet’s center.
- Place small butter cubes strategically on top of each mixture, enhancing flavor and moisture during cooking process.
- Carefully fold and seal foil packets, creating tight edges to prevent liquid from escaping and ensuring even cooking.
- Grill packets for 15-20 minutes, rotating once halfway through, or bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until potatoes reach desired tenderness and steak is cooked to preferred doneness.
- Remove packets from heat, allow to rest for 2-3 minutes, then carefully open and serve directly from foil, preserving maximum flavor and heat.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the packet.
- Marinate steak for 30 minutes before cooking to enhance flavor absorption and tenderness.
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing and potential leakage during grilling or baking.
- For a low-carb variation, substitute potatoes with cauliflower or zucchini chunks while maintaining similar cooking times.
