The sizzling sound of steak hitting a hot grill, combined with the aroma of garlic and the comforting taste of potatoes, creates a winning combination. This recipe for Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packs is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue or a weeknight dinner, this dish is sure to impress.
Why foil packs?
Using foil packs is a great way to cook steak and potatoes because it seals in all the flavors and juices. The foil acts as a little oven, allowing the ingredients to cook evenly and retain their moisture. Plus, the cleanup is a breeze—just toss the foil in the trash when you’re done!
Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 1 ½ pounds of steak, cut into cubes
– 4 medium-sized potatoes, thinly sliced
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using an oven, preheat it to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the steak cubes, potato slices, onion, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.
3. Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 18 inches long each.
4. Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the foil sheets, placing it in the center of each sheet.
5. Fold the sides of the foil up and over the ingredients, then fold the top and bottom edges together to seal the packet. Make sure the packet is tightly sealed to prevent any juices from leaking out.
6. Place the foil packs on the grill or in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the potatoes are tender.
7. Carefully open the foil packs, as there will be hot steam inside. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
8. Serve the Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packs hot off the grill or out of the oven. Enjoy!
