This Garlic Steak and Potatoes dish, cooked neatly in foil packets, is a wonderfully simple meal that works just as well for busy weeknights as it does for outdoor cooking. Bite-sized sirloin and tender baby potatoes are coated in a fragrant blend of garlic, herbs, and olive oil, then wrapped in foil and baked until perfectly juicy. The packets lock in all the seasonings, creating a flavorful, mess-free dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make Garlic Steak and Potatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Prep & Preheat:<\/strong>
Heat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). In a large mixing bowl, add the steak pieces, halved baby potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Assemble the Foil Packets:<\/strong>
Cut four sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12\u00d712 inches. Divide the steak-and-potato mixture among the four sheets, placing it in the center. Fold and crimp the foil around the food to seal each packet tightly, keeping steam inside as it cooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Bake:<\/strong>
Set the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25\u201330 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and the steak reaches your preferred doneness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Serve:<\/strong>
Open each packet carefully\u2014hot steam will escape. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
