  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Ingredient Substitutions & Variations

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and half of the minced garlic.

Step 2: Assemble the Foil Packets

  • Divide the seasoned potatoes evenly among the foil sheets.
  • In the same bowl, mix steak bites with melted butter, Italian seasoning, and the remaining garlic.
  • Add the steak bites on top of the potatoes in each packet.

Step 3: Seal the Foil Packets

  • Fold the foil over the contents and seal tightly to trap the flavors.
  • Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake or Grill

  • Oven method: Bake for 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender and the steak reaches your desired doneness.
  • Grill method: Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, flipping once.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

  • Carefully open the foil packets (watch for steam!).
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Equipment

Notes

Use high-quality steak – Tender cuts like sirloin or filet mignon yield the juiciest results.
Don’t overcook – Steak continues cooking after you remove it from heat.
Make ahead – Prep the packets and refrigerate up to 24 hours before cooking.
Add cheese – Sprinkle Parmesan or shredded mozzarella before serving.
