Mouthwatering Herb Steak and Potato Foil Packets for Easy Grilling

Learn how to make delicious Herb Steak and Potato Foil Packets. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (substitute with ribeye or flank steak if you prefer)
  • 3 medium red potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch pieces (Yukon gold works well too)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for a milder flavor)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder for a shortcut)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, but adds a nice warmth)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional, but adds sweetness)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (or prepare your grill for medium-high heat). This temperature works perfectly to cook the potatoes through and get the steak tender without drying it out.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until every piece is well coated.
  3. Cut four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12×12 inches each. You’ll use these to build individual packets.
  4. Divide the potato mixture evenly among the four foil sheets, placing it in the center of each.
  5. In the same bowl, toss the steak cubes with the remaining olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  6. Lay the steak cubes evenly on top of the potatoes in each foil packet. Add sliced onions on top if using—they caramelize beautifully inside the packets.
  7. Fold the foil over the ingredients, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet. Make sure no steam can escape—that’s where the magic happens!
  8. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. If using a grill, place packets over indirect heat and cook for the same amount of time.
  9. Carefully open one packet to check if the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked to your liking. If not, reseal and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
  10. Once done, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Watch out for the steam when opening—the aroma will fill your kitchen!
