Ingredients
- 2 sirloin steaks (or your preferred cut of steak)
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, sliced into thin rounds
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Steps to Make Garlic Steak & Potato Foil Packets
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried thyme or Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- Prepare the Steak:
- Season both sides of the steaks with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Assemble the Foil Packets:
- Lay out two large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil (each about 12 inches long).
- Place half of the seasoned potatoes in the center of each foil sheet.
- Lay a steak on top of the potatoes, then drizzle the melted butter over the steak and potatoes.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the steak and potatoes, sealing the packet tightly to prevent any steam from escaping.
- Cook the Foil Packets:
- If baking, place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, depending on your steak’s thickness and desired doneness.
- If grilling, place the packets directly on the grill over medium heat and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam!) and transfer the contents to plates.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
