🥩🥔 Steak and Potato Foil Packets
Steak and potato foil packets are an easy, all-in-one meal you can cook on the grill, in the oven, or over a campfire. Everything steams together inside the foil, keeping the steak juicy and the potatoes tender.

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)

- In a bowl, combine steak, potatoes, peppers, onions, oil/butter, garlic, and seasonings. Toss well.

🔥 Tips for Perfect Results
- Cut potatoes small so they cook evenly.
- For medium-rare steak, avoid overcooking — check around 12 minutes.
- Add a tablespoon of beef broth inside each packet for extra moisture.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last 5 minutes for a cheesy version.
🌟 Flavor Variations
- Garlic Butter: Use compound garlic herb butter instead of oil.
- Cajun Style: Add Cajun seasoning and a dash of hot sauce.
- Mushroom & Thyme: Add sliced mushrooms and fresh thyme.
- Surf & Turf: Add a few shrimp in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
This meal is simple, mess-free, and perfect for weeknights, grilling, or camping.
If you’d like, I can also give you a slow cooker or air fryer version.
