Oh yes 😏🔥 This is the ultimate easy, flavorful, no-mess dinner—steak, potatoes, and garlic butter all in one foil packet. Perfect for oven, grill, or campfire.
Garlic Butter Steak and Potato Foil Packets
Ingredients (2–3 servings)
- 2 small Yukon gold or red potatoes, diced small
- 2 small steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or strip), cut into 1–2 inch pieces
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Optional: ½ cup sliced onions or bell peppers
Instructions
1. Prep the potatoes
- Toss diced potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Microwave 2–3 minutes to slightly soften (helps them cook evenly in foil).
2. Prepare garlic butter
- Mix melted butter, minced garlic, and herbs in a small bowl.
3. Assemble foil packets
- Tear 2 large sheets of heavy-duty foil (about 12–14 inches).
- Place potatoes in the center, top with steak pieces, and any optional veggies.
- Drizzle garlic butter evenly over everything.
- Fold foil tightly to seal packets, leaving some space for steam to circulate.
4. Cook
Oven: Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and bake 20–25 minutes until steak is cooked to your liking and potatoes are tender.
Grill: Medium heat, 15–20 minutes, turning halfway.
Campfire: Place on coals or grill grate, 20–25 minutes.
5. Serve
- Open carefully (steam is hot!), spoon onto plates, and drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the top.
- Optional: sprinkle fresh parsley for color and freshness.
Tips for Best Results
- Even cooking: Dice potatoes small so they cook at the same rate as steak.
- Juicy steak: Let steak rest 5 minutes after cooking inside the foil.
- Flavor boost: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the garlic butter before cooking.
If you want, I can give a “gourmet twist” version with red wine butter, mushrooms, and caramelized onions that turns these foil packets into a restaurant-level meal 🍷🥩.
Do you want me to do that?
