Garlic Butter Steak and Potato Foil Packets are a perfect, easy, and flavorful meal that combines tender steak, crispy potatoes, and a garlic butter sauce all cooked in a convenient foil packet! Here’s the recipe:
Garlic Butter Steak and Potato Foil Packets
Ingredients:
- 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered (or diced regular potatoes)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steak and Potatoes:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if cooking inside.
- In a bowl, toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional), paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are well-coated.
- In a separate bowl, toss the steak pieces with a pinch of salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic, thyme (if using), and parsley. Stir until everything is combined.
3. Assemble the Foil Packets:
- Cut 4 sheets of aluminum foil (large enough to fold over and seal the ingredients).
- On each sheet, add a handful of seasoned potatoes and steak pieces.
- Drizzle each packet generously with the garlic butter sauce.
- Fold the foil tightly around the potatoes and steak to create a sealed packet.
4. Cook the Foil Packets:
- On the Grill: Place the foil packets on the grill over medium-high heat. Grill for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through to ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be tender and the steak cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
- In the Oven: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and the steak is cooked through.
5. Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packets (be cautious of the steam!).
- Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately!
Tips:
- Adjust for Doneness: If you like your steak medium-rare, you may want to cut the steak pieces smaller so they cook through quickly.
- Add Vegetables: Feel free to add veggies like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms into the packets for extra flavor and variety.
- Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the garlic butter for a little heat.
These Garlic Butter Steak and Potato Foil Packets are perfect for grilling season, camping, or even a quick dinner in the oven. The garlic butter brings everything together for a delicious, easy-to-make meal! 🍖🧄🥔
