Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 large sheets of aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill or Oven: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or if you prefer to bake, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Combine Steak and Potatoes: In a large bowl, place the cut sirloin steak pieces and quartered baby potatoes together.
- Season the Mixture: Add the olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the steak and potatoes are evenly coated in the seasonings.
- Prepare Foil Packs: Divide the seasoned steak and potatoes evenly among the four large sheets of aluminum foil. Fold the foil over the contents and seal the edges well to create tight packets.
- Cook the Foil Packs: Place the foil packets directly on the grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes on each side, ensuring the steak reaches your preferred level of doneness and the potatoes are tender. If using an oven, place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Serve: Carefully open each foil packet—watch out for hot steam. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- For even cooking, try to cut steak and potato pieces uniformly.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of steak pieces and your preferred doneness.
- You can add vegetables like bell peppers or onions into the packets for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing during cooking.
- Let steak rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier results.
