Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) steak, sirloin or ribeye, cut into cubes

Vegetables and Seasonings:

  • 1 pound (454 grams) baby potatoes, halved
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Oils, Herbs, and Spices:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Ignite grill to medium-high heat or warm oven to 400F (200C) for optimal cooking environment.
  2. Slice four generously sized aluminum foil sheets to create individual cooking pouches.
  3. Craft a vibrant marinade by whisking together olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, crushed oregano, delicate thyme, smoky paprika, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper.
  4. Thoroughly coat beef cubes and diced potatoes in the aromatic herb-infused mixture, ensuring complete flavor coverage.
  5. Distribute seasoned ingredients equally across prepared foil sheets, arranging meat and potatoes in a single layer for consistent cooking.
  6. Carefully fold foil edges, creating tight sealed packets that will trap moisture and intensify flavors during cooking process.
  7. Place packets directly on grill grates or position in preheated oven, allowing 20-25 minutes for meat to reach desired doneness and potatoes to become fork-tender.
  8. Remove packets with heat-resistant tongs, cautiously unfold edges to release fragrant steam.
  9. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over top for bright color and additional herbaceous note, then serve immediately while piping hot.

Notes

  • Use heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing and ensure even cooking of steak and potatoes.
  • Slice potatoes uniformly for consistent cooking and better texture throughout the packet.
  • Marinate steak cubes for 30 minutes beforehand to enhance flavor depth and tenderness.
  • Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness and desired doneness, checking internal temperature for precision.
