Steak and Potato Foil Packets
Steak and Potatoes Foil Packets are full of flavor with mushrooms, garlic, butter, herbs and perfect for busy weeknights. Best of all, instructions to make these in the oven and the grill.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Rib-eye steak* (can also use T-bone, Filet Mignon or strip steak)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 small yellow onion cut into 1 1/2" chunks
- 2 cups potatoes cut into 1" chunks (I used Russet but baby Yukon or baby red potatoes would work as well)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- freshly chopped parsley for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat grill to medium-high or oven to 450°F.
-
Season both sides of the steak with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. *Cut into chunks according to desired doneness:
For Medium Rare: Cut steak into 3.5 - 4 inch chunks
For Medium: Cut steak into 3 inch chunks
For Medium Well: Cut steak into 2 inch chunks
-
Add the mushrooms, onions, and potatoes to a large bowl. Season with salt, black pepper then toss to coat well. Add the steak, olive oil, butter, garlic powder, thyme, and oregano to the bowl then toss to coat well.
-
Cut four 18 x 12 inch squares of foil* and divide mixture evenly among each packet.
-
Fold the foil over the steak and seal to close off the packets.
If Cooking on the Grill
-
Place foil packets onto the grill and close the lid. Grill for 12 minutes, then flip over and grill for an additional 7-8 minutes. (If you like a nice char on your steak, transfer the steak directly onto the grill for 1-2 minutes)
-
Remove from heat and allow to stand for 10 minutes, to steam the potatoes.
-
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and additional black pepper, if desired.
If Cooking in the Oven:
-
Place foil packets on a baking sheet and cook for 18 minutes (rotating tray once). Open foil packets then return to oven and switch the setting to broil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until steak is lightly charred.
Remove baking sheet from oven. Seal the packets again and allow to stand for an additional 6-8 minutes so the potatoes continue to steam and cook. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and additional black pepper, if desired.
