Garlic Butter Steak and Potato Foil Packets

Step 4: Assemble the Foil Packets

Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12–14 inches long each. If using regular foil, double-layer it to prevent tearing.
Divide the seasoned steak and potatoes evenly among the foil sheets, placing them in the center.
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over each portion.
If using additional vegetables, distribute them evenly among the packets.
Fold the foil over the steak and potatoes, sealing the edges tightly to create a secure packet. Ensure there’s some space inside for steam circulation.

Step 5: Cook the Foil Packets

On the Grill:

Place the foil packets on a preheated grill over medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
Cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through.
Carefully open one packet to check if the potatoes are fork-tender and the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.

In the Oven:

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes.
Open one packet to check if the potatoes are soft and the steak is done. If needed, bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Over a Campfire:

Place the foil packets on hot campfire coals.
Cook for 15–20 minutes, flipping occasionally.
Check for doneness before serving.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam!).
Garnish with extra fresh parsley and sprinkle grated cheese on top if desired.
Serve directly from the foil packet for a rustic feel or transfer to plates.

Tips for the Best Steak and Potato Foil Packets

Choose the right steak: Ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon offer the best flavor and tenderness. Avoid cheaper cuts that can turn tough.
Cut ingredients evenly: Ensure both the steak and potatoes are in uniform sizes so they cook at the same rate.
Use heavy-duty foil: This prevents tearing and ensures better heat retention.
Don’t overcook the steak: Since the steak cooks in a sealed packet, it retains moisture but can overcook quickly. Check doneness early.
Customize the flavors: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, or even a squeeze of lemon for extra zest.
Make it cheesy: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top just before serving for an extra layer of richness.
