These Garlic Butter Steak and Potato Foil Packets are an easy family dinner recipe for summer. Cook them on the grill/campfire or in the oven!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds steak (sirloin is my favorite cut here)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes (cut into 1/2 inch pieces (halving or quartering usually does it for me))
  • 1 onion (peeled, halved and then thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (cubed)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the sliced potatoes in a pot of boiling, salted water and cook for 5 minutes. Drain immediately and place in a large bowl. Allow to sit until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prep the steak: Cut the steak into pieces (2.5 - 3 inches for well done, 3 - 4 inches for medium, 5 inches for rarer steak). Marinate it if you like.

  3. 3

    On the grill/fire: On a HOT grill, cook the foil packets for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the potatoes are tender (exact grilling time can vary depending on type of foil used, exact oven temperature, size of steak, etc.! I recommend an oven thermometer to check on the steak after about 10 minutes to gauge how much longer it will need!)If you’re cooking the packets on a fire without a grilling rack, place them on a 2-inch bed of coal.
