Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 2 lbs (907 g) lean sirloin steak, cut into 2-inch chunks

Vegetables:

  • 1 lb (454 g) baby yellow potatoes, quartered

Seasonings and Oils:

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) onion powder
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare workstation by gathering all ingredients and cutting large squares of aluminum foil for creating individualized meal packets.
  2. Craft a flavorful seasoning blend incorporating Italian herbs, onion powder, salt, and cracked pepper to enhance the meat and potato mixture.
  3. Slice steak into uniform bite-sized cubes, ensuring consistent cooking and optimal tenderness throughout the protein.
  4. Chop potatoes into similar-sized chunks to guarantee even roasting and prevent uneven texture during the cooking process.
  5. Mince fresh garlic thoroughly to distribute aromatic flavor evenly across the entire dish and release its robust essence.
  6. Combine steak, potatoes, garlic, and pre-mixed seasonings in a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly coating each ingredient with olive oil and spices.
  7. Position aluminum foil sheets on a clean surface, creating individual packets that will allow ingredients to steam and caramelize simultaneously.
  8. Distribute the seasoned steak and potato mixture precisely across each foil packet, maintaining balanced portions.
  9. Carefully fold and crimp foil packet edges, creating a tight seal that traps moisture and prevents potential leakage during cooking.
  10. Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes or grill over medium heat until steak reaches desired doneness and potatoes become golden and tender.
  11. Remove packets from heat source, allow brief resting time, then cautiously open to release aromatic steam before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Customize spice levels by adjusting Italian seasoning and adding red pepper flakes for extra kick.
  • For tender meat, choose cuts like sirloin or ribeye and slice against the grain for maximum softness.
  • Swap regular potatoes with sweet potatoes or cauliflower for low-carb and gluten-free alternatives.
  • Use parchment paper instead of aluminum foil if concerned about metal leaching during high-heat cooking.
