Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potato Mixture
- 1 ½ pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
Garnish and Other
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Heavy-duty foil for wrapping
- Nonstick spray
Instructions
- Preheat Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for cooking the foil packs.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sirloin steak cubes and baby potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and add minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme or rosemary. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure even coating of the seasoning.
- Prepare Foil Packs: Cut four large pieces of heavy-duty foil. Spray each piece with nonstick spray to prevent sticking. Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the four foil sheets.
- Seal the Foil Packs: Fold up each foil sheet into a sealed packet, leaving a small amount of room inside for heat circulation during cooking. Make sure they are tightly sealed to lock in flavors and juices.
- Cook the Foil Packs: Place the foil packets on the preheated grill or in the oven. Cook for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be tender, and the steak cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
- Serve and Garnish: Carefully open each foil pack, cautiously watching for steam. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot directly from the foil packs or transfer to plates for serving.
Notes
- For medium doneness, cook the steak and potatoes for about 20 minutes total.
- Feel free to add sliced bell peppers or onions inside the foil packs for additional flavor and nutrition.
- This recipe is also great for cooking over a campfire; increase the cooking time to 25–30 minutes when using this method.
