Ingredients

Scale

Proteins:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) steak, sirloin or ribeye, cut into bite-sized pieces

Fresh Herbs and Seasonings:

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Cooking Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Ignite the grill to medium-high heat or warm the oven to 400F (200C) for optimal cooking conditions.
  2. Gather steak, potatoes, and seasonings in a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly coating each ingredient with olive oil, melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Strategically distribute the seasoned mixture across four expansive aluminum foil sheets, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Meticulously fold and seal foil edges, creating tightly enclosed culinary pouches that trap moisture and flavor.
  5. Position the foil packets directly on grill grates or a rimmed baking sheet, maintaining consistent heat distribution.
  6. For grilling, cook approximately 10-15 minutes per side, rotating carefully to ensure uniform cooking.
  7. When using oven method, bake for 25-30 minutes until potatoes reach desired tenderness and steak achieves preferred doneness.
  8. With caution, unveil foil packets to prevent steam burns, then garnish with fresh parsley and optional parmesan cheese.
  9. Serve immediately while flavors remain vibrant and ingredients piping hot.

Notes

  • Ensure even potato cuts for consistent cooking, preventing some pieces from being undercooked or overcooked.
  • Use high-quality steak cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor absorption.
  • Customize spice levels by adjusting red pepper flakes and adding your favorite herbs for personalized taste.
  • Consider using parchment paper alongside foil for easier cleanup and potentially healthier cooking method.
