Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb (450g) steak, cut into bite-sized cubes (sirloin or ribeye works best)
  • 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 small bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • ½ small onion, sliced (optional)

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped (or ½ tsp dried)
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill to medium-high heat. Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12–14 inches each, to prepare for assembling foil packets.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped thyme, rosemary, paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. Assemble the Foil Packets: Divide the halved baby potatoes evenly among the foil sheets and drizzle with a portion of the garlic butter mixture. Then layer the cubed steak on top of the potatoes. Drizzle additional garlic butter over the steak for full flavor. Optionally, add sliced bell peppers and onions for extra color and taste.
  4. Seal the Packets: Bring the edges of each foil sheet together and fold tightly to seal, leaving a small space inside for air circulation and even cooking while preventing leaks.
  5. Cook: For oven method, place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until potatoes are tender and steak is cooked to your liking. For grilling, place packets directly on medium-high grill grates and cook for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through. For campfire cooking, place packets over medium-hot coals and cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  6. Serve: Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of hot steam. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve directly from the foil packets for easy cleanup and enjoy your flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing during cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the steak cubes and desired doneness.
  • You can substitute herbs with dried versions if fresh herbs are unavailable.
  • Add other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini for variety.
  • Ensure foil packets are sealed tightly but with a small pocket of air for even cooking.
  • To keep the steak medium-rare, check after minimum cooking time to avoid overcooking.
  • Allow packets to rest for 2-3 minutes before opening to let juices redistribute.
