Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
Seasonings and Garnish
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 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 your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for cooking the foil packs evenly.
- Combine Steak and Potatoes. In a large bowl, place the sirloin steak pieces and quartered baby potatoes, preparing them for seasoning.
- Add Seasonings. Drizzle the olive oil over the steak and potatoes. Add minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss all ingredients thoroughly to coat everything evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Prepare Foil Packs. Divide the seasoned steak and potatoes evenly onto the four large sheets of aluminum foil. Fold and seal the foil tightly around the contents to form sealed packets, which will help steam and cook the food while trapping flavors.
- Cook the Foil Packs. Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates and cook for 10-12 minutes per side, turning carefully halfway through. Alternatively, bake the packets in the oven on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve. Carefully open each foil packet—be cautious of escaping steam. Garnish the cooked steak and potatoes with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a fresh pop of flavor and color.
Notes
- For medium-rare steak, grill for 10 minutes per side; adjust cooking time as needed for preferred doneness.
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with fingerling potatoes if preferred.
- Ensure foil packets are sealed well to lock in moisture and flavors effectively.
- Cooking times may vary depending on grill heat or oven calibration.
- Leftover foil pack contents can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
