Steak and Potato Foil Packs Recipe

I recently tried making these steak and potato foil packs, and I have to say, they were a game-changer for dinner! Juicy chunks of sirloin combined with tender, herb-seasoned potatoes made the meal feel fancy yet super simple. I loved how little cleanup was required, and the flavor was absolutely incredible.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

Steak – I recommend top sirloin for its tenderness and flavor. Flank or ribeye also works well. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes – No peeling required! Waxy potatoes like fingerlings or red potatoes are great substitutes.
Garlic – Freshly minced garlic brings a robust flavor that dried garlic just can’t match.
Herbs – A mix of rosemary thyme, salt, and pepper works perfectly. Fresh herbs are optional but elevate the flavor.
Olive Oil – Helps everything cook evenly and keeps the steak juicy.

Method

Start by cutting your steak into bite-sized cubes and washing your potatoes. If desired, parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes to ensure they cook perfectly. Minced garlic and herbs should be ready to toss with your ingredients.
Lay out heavy-duty foil sheets and place the steak and potatoes in the center. Drizzle with olive oil, season with herbs, and fold the foil to seal the packets tightly. Double layers of foil help prevent leaks.
Place the packets on a preheated grill or in the oven at 400°F. Cook for 25–30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and steak reaches your desired doneness. Open carefully, as steam will escape.
For extra flavor, open the foil packets and place under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the steak slightly. Keep a close eye so nothing burns.
Carefully transfer the foil packs to plates. Let them rest for a few minutes before eating to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

I like to marinate my steak and potatoes for a few hours to enhance the flavor.
Cutting the potatoes smaller ensures they cook evenly with the steak.
Using heavy-duty foil prevents leaks and keeps everything juicy.
Always open foil packets on a flat surface to avoid hot juices spilling.
