Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds lean sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 pound baby yellow potatoes, quartered or halved
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (adjust to taste)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried oregano, thyme, and parsley)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prep: If baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Mix & Marinate: In a large mixing bowl, combine the steak chunks, potatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Packet Prep: Lay out four 12×12 inch sheets of aluminum foil. Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the sheets. Fold and seal the foil sheets to create secure packets, ensuring all edges are tightly closed to trap the flavors.
- Cooking Options:
- Grilling: Place the foil packets on a grill over high heat. Grill for about 10 minutes on each side, adjusting the time depending on how well-done you prefer your steak and the tenderness of the potatoes.
- Oven: Arrange the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the steak and potatoes are cooked to your desired tenderness.
- Serve with Style: Carefully open the foil packets (be cautious of the hot steam) and garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of freshness. Serve directly from the foil for a rustic look, or transfer the contents to plates for a more elegant presentation.
