Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 1.5 lbs steak (sirloin, ribeye, or filet mignon), cut into 1.5-inch cubes
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 3 tbsp olive oil – Helps with roasting
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes for spice
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat up your grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut 4 large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches each).
2️⃣ Season the Potatoes:
- In a bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and paprika until evenly coated.
3️⃣ Prepare the Steak:
- In a separate bowl, coat the steak cubes with melted butter and minced garlic.
4️⃣ Assemble the Foil Packets:
- Divide the potatoes evenly among the foil sheets.
- Add steak cubes on top of the potatoes.
- Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the packets.
5️⃣ Seal the Packets:
- Fold the sides of the foil over the steak and potatoes, sealing them tightly to ensure steam stays inside for cooking.
6️⃣ Cook the Foil Packets:
- Oven Method: Bake for 25–30 minutes until potatoes are tender and steak is cooked to desired doneness.
- Grill Method: Place on the grill for 10–12 minutes per side, or until potatoes are fork-tender and steak is medium-rare to medium.
7️⃣ Serve & Garnish:
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!).
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Steak & Potato Foil Packets:

✔️ Prefer well-done steak? Sear the steak first before adding to the packet.
✔️ Make it cheesy! Add shredded parmesan or mozzarella before serving.
✔️ For extra moisture, add 1 tablespoon of beef broth inside each packet.
