Garlic Steak & Potato Foil Packets are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be cooked on the grill, in the oven, or over a campfire. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
Steak: 1 pound, cut into cubes
Potatoes: 1 pound, diced
Green beans: 1 cup, trimmed
Butter: 4 tablespoons, melted
Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
Salt and pepper: to taste
Paprika: 1 teaspoon
Fresh parsley: chopped, for garnish
Prepare the Foil Packets:
-
- Tear off four sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long.
- Divide the diced potatoes and green beans evenly among the four foil sheets.
- Place the steak cubes on top of the vegetables.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the steak and vegetables in each foil packet.
3. Seal the Foil Packets:
- Fold the foil over the steak and vegetables to create a packet, sealing the edges tightly.
- Make sure the packets are well-sealed to prevent any juices from leaking out during cooking.
4. Cook the Foil Packets:
- Grill Method: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender.
- Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your liking and the vegetables are tender.
- Campfire Method: Place the foil packets directly onto hot coals, avoiding any flames. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
5. Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam) and transfer the contents to a plate.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
- Serve the garlic steak and potato foil packets hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- Feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your taste. You can add onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, or any other vegetables you like.
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- Make sure to handle the foil packets carefully, as they will be hot when you remove them from the grill, oven, or campfire.
