Ingredients
Steak and Potatoes
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the foil packs.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the sirloin steak cubes, halved baby potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything thoroughly to evenly coat the steak and potatoes with the seasoning.
- Prepare Foil Packs: Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long. Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among these four sheets, placing the mixture in the center of each piece.
- Seal the Packs: Fold the sides of each foil sheet over the ingredients and seal tightly to create individual foil packs that will steam the ingredients while baking.
- Bake: Place the sealed foil packs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the steak reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Serve: Carefully open each foil pack, being mindful of hot steam. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh burst of color and flavor.
Notes
- Cut steak into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your preferred steak doneness and potato size.
- Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing during baking.
- Parsley garnish is optional but adds a nice fresh touch.
- Leftover packs can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
