✅ Ingredients
1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered
½ cup butter, softened
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt & pepper, to taste
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
📖 Instructions
Make the Garlic Butter
In a small bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Prepare Foil Packets
Cut 4 large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Lightly grease or spray with non-stick spray.
Layer Steak & Potatoes
Place a portion of potatoes in the center of each foil square, then top with steak cubes.
Add the Butter
Dot each packet evenly with garlic butter.
Seal the Packets
Fold foil over ingredients, sealing edges tightly to trap steam and juices.
Cook Options
Oven: Place packets on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and steak is cooked to your liking.
Grill: Cook over medium heat for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Optional Cheesy Finish
Open packets carefully, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
Serve & Enjoy
Open foil packets carefully (watch the hot steam!), garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
🔑 Notes & Tips
For extra browning, broil the packets for 2 minutes after baking.
Swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack for a different cheesy finish.
Add veggies like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for more flavor and color.
🌟 Variations
Keto-Friendly: Skip the potatoes and replace with cauliflower florets or zucchini chunks.
Camping Version: Cook directly on hot campfire coals for 20–25 minutes.
Spicy Kick: Add ½ tsp chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha into the garlic butter.
❄️ Storage
Fridge: Store leftovers in airtight containers up to 3 days.
Freezer: Assemble raw packets (without cheese), freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and cook as directed.
