INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice the potatoes and onion. Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh herbs if using.
2. Create Foil Packets:
- Tear off four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12x12 inches.
- Divide the sliced potatoes and onions evenly among the foil pieces, creating a bed for the steak.
3. Season and Add Steak:
- Place seasoned steak pieces on top of the potatoes and onions on each foil packet.
- Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the steak and vegetables.
4. Drizzle with Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with additional minced garlic and chopped herbs if using.
- Drizzle the garlic butter mixture evenly over each foil packet, ensuring all ingredients are coated.
5. Seal Foil Packets:
- Fold the foil over the steak and potatoes, sealing the edges tightly to create a secure packet.
- Leave a little room inside for steam to circulate as the ingredients cook.
6. Cook the Foil Packets:
- Place the foil packets on the preheated grill or in the oven.
- Grill for about 10-12 minutes per side or until steak reaches desired doneness and potatoes are tender.
- If using the oven, bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until steak is cooked to your preference.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam) and transfer the contents to serving plates or bowls.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve hot.
Tips for Success:
1. Choose the Right Cut: While sirloin steak works well for this recipe, you can also use ribeye, strip loin, or your preferred steak cut.
2. Uniform Slicing: Slice potatoes and onions thinly and evenly to ensure even cooking.
3. Doneness Preference: Adjust cooking time based on your desired steak doneness and potato tenderness.
4. Customize Flavors: Feel free to add extra seasonings or vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or carrots to suit your taste.
5. Safety Note: Always handle hot foil packets with care and use oven mitts or tongs to avoid burns.
