Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Potatoes
- 2 lbs lean sirloin steak, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 lb baby yellow potatoes, quartered
Seasonings
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the foil packets.
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sirloin steak chunks, quartered baby potatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss everything thoroughly until steak and potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings and oil.
- Assemble the Packets: Divide the coated steak and potato mixture evenly among four sheets of aluminum foil, each measuring approximately 12×12 inches.
- Seal the Packets: Carefully fold and seal each foil sheet to create secure packets, ensuring that no steam will escape during baking to lock in moisture and flavors.
- Cook: Arrange the foil packets on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Notes
- You can substitute baby yellow potatoes with baby red potatoes or fingerlings if desired.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before sealing the foil packets.
- Make sure to cut the steak into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent leaks and maintain packet integrity.
- Adjust seasoning salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
- Let the packets rest for 5 minutes after baking before opening to allow juices to redistribute.
