Garlic Steak and Potatoes Foil Packets

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sirloin steak (or your preferred cut), cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for garnish (optional)
• Aluminum foil

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Grill or Oven:

• If you’re using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using an oven, preheat to 400°F.

1. Prepare the Mixture:

• In a large bowl, combine the steak cubes, baby potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss everything together until well-coated.

1. Assemble the Foil Packets:

• Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches each).
• Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the foil pieces.
• Fold the sides of the foil over the mixture to create a packet, making sure to seal it tightly to prevent leaks.

1. Cook:

• For Grill: Place the foil packets directly on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• For Oven: Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes.

1. Check for Doneness:

• Carefully open one packet (watch out for steam!) to check if the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked to your liking.

1. Serve:

• Once cooked, remove the packets from the grill or oven. Allow them to cool for a minute before opening.
• Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your delicious garlic steak and potatoes!

Tips:

• You can customize this dish by adding other veggies like bell peppers or onions.
• Adjust the cooking time based on how well-done you like your steak. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
• Serve with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
