Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your choice), cut into bite-sized pieces
Produce:
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or diced if larger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Seasonings and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Lay out heavy-duty aluminum foil sheets to create individual cooking pouches for a personalized garlic herb steak and potato meal.
- Massage olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper into baby potatoes, ensuring each potato is thoroughly coated with aromatic seasonings.
- Gently incorporate steak chunks into the seasoned potato mixture, allowing the meat to absorb the robust herbal flavors.
- Center the steak and potato medley on each foil sheet, creating a compact, even distribution that promotes uniform cooking.
- Drizzle melted garlic butter generously over the mixture, infusing additional richness and depth of flavor.
- Carefully crimp and fold foil edges, creating a sealed packet that traps moisture and prevents steam from escaping during cooking.
- For oven preparation, position packets on a baking sheet and roast at 425F (220C) for 20-25 minutes until potatoes reach tender perfection and steak reaches desired doneness.
- Alternatively, for grilling, place packets over medium-high heat, cooking approximately 10-12 minutes per side to achieve a delectable char and succulent interior.
- Unveil packets cautiously, protecting against escaping hot steam, and transfer contents to serving plates.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch, enhancing both visual appeal and herbaceous flavor profile.
Notes
- Elevate your weeknight dinner with these foolproof steak and potato packets that lock in maximum flavor and minimize cleanup.
- Customize heat levels by adjusting cooking times – medium rare steak needs less time compared to well-done preferences.
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil prevents leaks and helps create a steamy, moisture-rich cooking environment for tender meat and potatoes.
- Opt for baby potatoes for faster cooking and more uniform sizing, ensuring each bite is perfectly seasoned and cooked.
- Melted garlic butter adds richness and helps prevent the meat from drying out during high-temperature cooking.
- Store leftover packets in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating gently to maintain meat’s tenderness and prevent overcooking.
