This recipe for Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packets offers a convenient and flavorful way to prepare a complete meal with minimal effort and easy cleanup. Perfect for busy weeknights or outdoor gatherings, these foil packets are filled with tender sirloin steak, hearty baby potatoes, vibrant baby carrots, and crisp green beans, all infused with the savory aroma of garlic and fragrant herbs.
To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare the ingredients by cutting the sirloin steak into cubes and halving or quartering the baby potatoes. Baby carrots and green beans add color and nutrients to the dish, while minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper provide flavor and seasoning.
In a large bowl, toss together the cubed steak, baby potatoes, baby carrots, green beans, minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper until everything is well coated. This ensures that each ingredient is infused with delicious flavor before being sealed in the foil packets.
Next, divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly among four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, placing it in the center of each piece. Fold the foil over the ingredients, sealing the edges tightly to create individual packets that will steam and cook the contents to perfection.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender. Once done, carefully open the foil packets, taking care to avoid the hot steam that will escape.
For a finishing touch, garnish the Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packets with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired. These packets can be served directly from the foil for easy cleanup, making them a convenient and satisfying meal option that the whole family will enjoy.
