Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 2.5 lb (907 to 1134 g) top sirloin steak (trimmed of fat and cut into 2.5-inch pieces)
- 1 lb (454 g) baby yellow potatoes (quartered or halved if already less than 1 inch in size)
- 3 tbsps (44 mL) olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp (14 g) minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Marinade Preparation: Infuse steak and potatoes with a robust blend of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and aromatic dried seasonings, ensuring comprehensive flavor penetration.
- Foil Packet Assembly: Create individual cooking pouches using four generously sized aluminum foil sheets, strategically positioning the seasoned ingredients in the center with precision.
- Packet Sealing: Craft hermetic seal around the ingredients, folding edges tightly to lock in moisture and concentrate flavor profiles during the cooking process.
- Thermal Treatment: Apply high-heat cooking method by either positioning packets on preheated grill or placing in 425°F oven, rotating periodically to guarantee uniform heat distribution and optimal doneness.
- Resting and Finishing: Allow cooked packets to rest momentarily, enabling juice redistribution and enhancing meat tenderness, then carefully unveil the aromatic contents onto serving platters.
- Culinary Presentation: Elevate the dish’s visual appeal by garnishing with vibrant, freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives, creating a final layer of aromatic complexity and providing a crisp, verdant accent to the robust protein and potato medley.
Notes
- Seal Smartly: Create airtight foil packets by folding edges twice to prevent moisture escape and lock in rich flavors.
- Temperature Matters: Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness – 145°F for medium-rare, ensuring perfect texture and safety.
- Marinade Magic: Let steak and potatoes marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking to maximize flavor penetration and tenderize meat.
- Resting is Crucial: Allow cooked packets to rest 3-5 minutes after grilling, letting juices redistribute for more tender, juicier results.
