Grilled Steak Potato Packets (Printer-Friendly Version)

Tender steak and seasoned potatoes grilled in foil packets for a delicious, flavorful meal with minimal cleanup.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Meat

01 - 1 pound steak, such as sirloin, ribeye, or flat iron, cut into chunks

→ Vegetables

02 - 3 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1-inch cubes, skin on
03 - ½ medium onion, diced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Fats and Oils

05 - 4 tablespoons salted butter, divided
06 - 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

→ Seasonings

07 - Salt to taste
08 - Black pepper to taste
09 - 2 teaspoons steak seasoning, such as Montreal or a preferred blend

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Tear off four large sheets of aluminum foil and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in the center of each sheet.
02 - Divide the diced potatoes evenly among the foil sheets, placing them atop the butter. Sprinkle minced garlic and diced onion over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle each with a bit more olive oil.
03 - Place chunks of steak evenly on top of the potatoes in each packet. Season the steak with additional salt, pepper, and steak seasoning. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the meat and add another pat of butter atop each portion. Place a large ice cube on top of the steak to maintain moisture during cooking.
04 - Fold the sides of each foil sheet upward and seal tightly to create a secure packet, ensuring no butter or oil leaks during cooking.
05 - Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 350°F). Place the foil packets on the grill and cook for 35 to 45 minutes until the steak is cooked to desired doneness and potatoes are tender. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature.
06 - Remove packets from the grill and allow them to cool slightly. Open carefully to avoid steam burns and serve immediately.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - To ensure even cooking, consider parboiling potatoes before assembling. Using an ice cube in the packet creates steam which helps keep meat moist.
02 - These packets can be baked in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35–45 minutes if not using a grill.
