Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2–2.5 pounds top sirloin steak (trimmed of fat and cut into 2.5-inch pieces)
Vegetables:
- 1 pound baby yellow potatoes (quartered or halved if less than 1 inch in size)
Seasonings and Oils:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a spacious mixing vessel and combine the tender beef cuts, diced potatoes, extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, minced garlic, and aromatic dried herbs. Thoroughly massage the ingredients to ensure uniform coating.
- Meticulously distribute the seasoned mixture across four 12×12 inch aluminum foil sheets, ensuring even allocation of meat and potatoes.
- Carefully fold and crimp the foil edges, creating tightly sealed, hermetic packets that will lock in moisture and flavor.
- For grilling method: Position the foil packets directly on a preheated grill set to high temperature (approximately 450-500°F or 232-260°C). Cook for 10-12 minutes per side, rotating carefully to prevent scorching.
- For oven preparation: Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Place sealed packets on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, allowing the steak to reach desired internal temperature.
- Once cooking is complete, allow packets to rest for 3-5 minutes to redistribute internal juices and ensure optimal tenderness.
- Gently open foil packets, releasing aromatic steam. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for vibrant color and enhanced flavor profile.
- Serve immediately while the steak remains succulent and potatoes are perfectly crisp-tender.
Notes
- Marinate the steak and potatoes in a blend of olive oil, garlic, and seasonings for maximum flavor infusion before grilling or baking.
- Aluminum foil packets create a perfect steaming environment, ensuring tender meat and crispy potatoes with minimal cleanup.
- Cooking time varies depending on steak thickness and desired doneness, so use a meat thermometer for precise results.
- High heat is crucial for achieving a delicious char on the steak while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives can elevate the dish with a burst of brightness and additional aromatic complexity.
- Prep the ingredients ahead of time for a quick and convenient meal that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or outdoor gatherings.
