Steak and Potato Foil Packets Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or your preferred cut), cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Grill or Oven:
   • If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
   • If using an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Foil:
   • Cut 4 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12×18 inches each.
3. Assemble Packets:
   • In a large bowl, combine steak pieces, potatoes, bell peppers, and onion.
   • Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
   • Divide the mixture evenly among the foil pieces, placing it in the center of each piece.
4. Seal Packets:
   • Fold the sides of the foil over the steak and vegetable mixture, then fold the ends to seal the packets completely.
5. Cook:
   • If grilling, place the foil packets on the preheated grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
   • If using an oven, place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked to your liking.
6. Serve:
   • Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam) and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a pat of butter on top of the steak and vegetables before sealing the foil packets.
• You can customize the vegetables based on your preference, such as adding mushrooms, zucchini, or carrots.
• To ensure even cooking, make sure the steak and potatoes are cut into similarly sized pieces.
