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