Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks (6–8 ounces/170–225 grams each)
Vegetables and Starch:
- 4 small potatoes, cut into cubes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Seasonings and Fats:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Prepare grill to medium-high heat or preheat oven to 400F/200C for cooking method.
- Create a robust seasoning blend by whisking olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, pepper, and paprika in a mixing bowl.
- Cut four generously sized aluminum foil sheets for individual meal packets.
- Distribute cubed potatoes evenly in the center of each foil sheet, creating a consistent base layer.
- Drizzle the aromatic garlic butter mixture directly over the potato cubes, ensuring thorough coating.
- Carefully position a single steak atop the seasoned potato layer in each foil packet.
- Expertly fold and crimp foil edges to create a secure, tight seal around the steak and potatoes.
- Cook on grill for 20-25 minutes, rotating packets midway through cooking time, or bake in oven for 25-30 minutes until meat reaches desired doneness.
- Delicately open foil packets, allowing steam to escape, and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for vibrant garnish.
- Serve immediately while hot and fragrant, presenting each individual packet directly to diners.
Notes
- Choose thick-cut, well-marbled steaks like ribeye or New York strip for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform, bite-sized cubes to guarantee even cooking and consistent texture.
- Seal foil packets tightly to lock in moisture and prevent juices from leaking during grilling or baking.
- Customize the herb blend by substituting dried herbs with fresh ones for a more vibrant, garden-fresh taste.
