🔪 Instructions

1. Prep your ingredients

   • Wash and cut the potatoes (keep small pieces so they cook quickly).

   • Cut steak into bite-size cubes. Pat dry and season well with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Par-cook the potatoes (optional but helps crisp them up)

   • Boil or microwave them for 5–7 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain well.

3. Mix the garlic butter

   • In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic, parsley, and optional red pepper flakes.

4. Assemble foil packets

   • Lay out 4 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches).

   • Divide the potatoes, steak, and any vegetables evenly among them.

   • Drizzle with olive oil and half the garlic butter mixture. Toss gently to coat.

   • Fold up each foil packet: bring the long sides together, fold down tightly, then fold in the ends to seal.

5. Cook

   • On the grill: Place packets on medium-high heat (about 425°F / 220°C) for 10–12 minutes per side, until steak is cooked to your liking and potatoes are golden.

   • In the oven: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

6. Finish and serve

   • Carefully open packets (watch the steam!). Drizzle with the remaining garlic butter and a squeeze of lemon.

   • Garnish with extra parsley and serve right in the foil for easy cleanup.

🔥 Tips

• For extra crispy potatoes, broil the opened packets for 2–3 minutes at the end.

• Use ribeye or New York strip for extra tenderness.

• Add veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or asparagus for variety.
