Ingredients
  

For the Steak and Potatoes
  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1.5 lb baby potatoes halved or quartered if large
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
For the Garlic Butter
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme chopped, or 0.5 tsp dried
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Equipment

  • Heavy-duty aluminum foil
  • Large Bowl
  • Grill or oven

Method
 

Prep
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F) or your oven to 425 degrees F. Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil, about 12 by 18 inches each. Lightly oil the center of each sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the steak cubes and halved potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Assemble packets
  1. Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the 4 foil sheets, mounding it in the center. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the garlic butter over each packet, reserving a little for serving.
  2. Fold the long sides of the foil up and over the filling, then fold down twice to seal. Fold in the short ends and crimp tightly to create a sealed packet. Leave a little air space inside for steam to circulate.
Cook
  1. Place packets on the grill or a baking sheet in the oven. Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until potatoes are fork-tender and steak reaches your desired doneness. Open carefully - steam will escape.
  2. Transfer contents to plates or serve straight from the foil. Drizzle with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with extra chopped parsley.

Notes

For the most tender results, choose sirloin or ribeye and avoid overcooking - the steak will continue cooking slightly after you open the packets. If your potatoes are larger than 1 inch, microwave them for 3-4 minutes before assembling to ensure they finish at the same time as the steak. These packets can be assembled up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to cook.
