Here’s a simple Foil Packet Steak, Onion & Potato Meal—all the flavors cook together in one packet for a juicy, hearty dinner. 🥩🥔🧅
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 2 steak cuts (sirloin, ribeye, or your choice), sliced or whole
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2–3 potatoes, thinly sliced or cubed
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional herbs: thyme, rosemary, or parsley
- Optional: grated cheese for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill for medium heat.
2. Prepare foil packets
- Tear out 2 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Drizzle each with a little olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
3. Layer ingredients
- Bottom layer: potatoes
- Middle layer: sliced onions
- Top layer: steak slices
- Sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Optional: add cheese on top before sealing.
4. Seal packets
- Fold the foil over and seal edges tightly to trap steam and juices.
5. Cook
- Oven: Bake for 25–35 minutes until potatoes are tender and steak is cooked to your preference.
- Grill: Place packets on medium heat for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. Serve
- Open carefully (steam will escape).
- Serve directly from the foil for minimal cleanup, or plate with fresh parsley.
Tips
✔ Slice potatoes thin for faster cooking.
✔ Add carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra flavor.
✔ For extra tenderness, marinate the steak briefly in olive oil, garlic, and soy sauce before layering.
If you want, I can also give you a slow-cooker version of layered steak, onions, and potatoes that requires almost zero hands-on time.
