Ingredients you need for the Garlic Butter Steak & Potato Foil Packs
2 lbs (900g) flank steak, cut into strips2 lbs (900g) baby Yukon potatoes, washed and quartered2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped1/2 cup butter, melted4 cloves garlic, finely minced1 teaspoon Italian seasoningJuice of 1/2 lemon1 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional1 teaspoon salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste1 tablespoon grated parmesan, for garnishThe steak marinade2/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut amino1/4 cup olive oil1 tablespoon hot sauce of your choice, optional (we used Sriracha)1 small crumbled bouillon cube, optional
Directions
1. To make the steak and potato foil packet dinner: In a bowl or Ziplok bag, combine soy sauce, hot sauce, olive oil, and bouillon cube. Mix with the steak strips and let marinate for 30 minutes to overnight in the refrigerator.
2. When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C) . Combine melted butter, lemon juice, fresh parsley, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, hot sauce and crushed chili pepper flakes in a small bowl.
3. Tear four 15-inch (40cm) pieces of heavy duty foil. Divide marinated steak strips and potatoes on the foil sheets. Drizzle generously with the garlic butter sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Fold up the sides of the foil over the steak and potatoes, pressing the seal tightly to prevent any juices from spilling out. Transfer the foil packets on a baking sheet or a tray and bake for 20-25 minutes. You can open steak foil packets being careful of trapped steam, and broil for 3-4 minutes, until charred. Open carefully and sprinkle with grated parmesan and fresh parsley. Enjoy your garlic butter steak and potato foil packs with more of the garlic sauce, if you like!
- Cooking time will largely depend on the size of your potatoes. If you like your steak well done, slice it in smaller pieces. And the reverse is true: The bigger you cut them, the juicier the steak will be once it’s done.It is best you use a cut of steak that will stay tender during the cooking process. Flank, eye fillet, ribeye, porterhouse, top sirloin…
- You can parboil the potatoes 8 minutes to speed up cooking time.
- You can cook you foil packets on the grill, approximatively 7 minutes on each side, until potatoes are cooked through.
- If you don’t like aluminum, you can use parchment paper to make the packets, but bake them in the oven only, not on the grill.

How to make foil packets
Use preferably two sheets of aluminum foil to prevent tearing up the packets. Do not seal the packets too tight, you want that steam to circulate inside so the food cooks evenly and the flavors combine. Add spices, herbs or your favorite condiment for extra flavor. With these tips, you can enjoy a delicious foil packet dinner in less than 30 minutes!
How long do you bake a foil packets?
- Depending on your ingredients, give your foil packets a good 15-18 minutes in a HOT oven.While your food is baking, don’t be tempted to keep opening the foil packet to see if it’s done.
- At the end of cooking, you can open your foil packet and broil for an extra 2-3 minutes to crisp up the food.
