Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Minimal cleanup – everything is cooked in foil.
• Full of flavor – the garlic herb butter soaks into every bite.
• Customizable – add your favorite veggies or swap the protein.

 Ingredients & Their Purpose

• 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes – juicy, tender protein that cooks evenly.
• 1 lb baby potatoes, halved – hearty and satisfying; they absorb all that garlic butter flavor.
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted – rich, creamy base for the sauce.
• 4 cloves garlic, minced – adds aromatic depth and savory punch.
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped – for freshness and color.
• 1 teaspoon salt & ½ teaspoon black pepper – essential for enhancing the steak and potatoes.
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional) – adds a warm, subtle smoky flavor.
• Aluminum foil – for sealing in the flavor and creating easy cleanup packets.

 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven or grill to 425°F (220°C). If using a campfire, make sure the coals are hot and even.
2. Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
3. Assemble the foil packets: Cut 4 large pieces of foil. Evenly divide the steak and potatoes among them. Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over each packet.
4. Seal tightly: Fold the foil over the ingredients and crimp the edges tightly to seal each packet.
5. Cook:
   • Oven: Bake for 20–25 minutes.
   • Grill: Grill over medium-high heat for 15–20 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
   • Campfire: Place on hot coals for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally.
6. Serve hot: Carefully open the foil (watch for steam!) and enjoy straight from the packet or plated.

 Pro Tips for Perfect Packets

• Cut potatoes small – so they cook at the same rate as the steak.
• Don’t skip the garlic butter – it’s the flavor backbone of the dish.
• Use heavy-duty foil – prevents tearing and leakage during cooking.
