– 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Aluminum foil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Follow these straightforward steps to prepare your Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packs:
1. Preheat Grill or Oven: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Foil: Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12-15 inches long. Make sure they are large enough to hold the ingredients comfortably.
3. Toss Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the steak pieces, halved baby potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
4. Divide Mixture: Evenly distribute the steak and potato mixture onto the center of each piece of foil.
5. Fold the Foil Packs: Pull the sides of the foil up over the ingredients and fold down tightly to seal them securely. Make sure there’s some space left in the pack for the steam to circulate.
6. Cook the Packs: Place the foil packs directly on the grill grates or on a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness.
7. Check for Doneness: Carefully open one pack to check if the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked through. If necessary, reseal and continue cooking for a few more minutes.
8. Serve: Once done, remove the foil packs from the heat. Allow them to cool for a couple of minutes before carefully opening them.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
By following these easy steps, you will create delightful Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packs that are bursting with flavor.
