Ingredients
  

  • Steak: 1.5 lbs Top Sirloin, sliced into 2.5-5 inch pieces depending on doneness preference
  • Baby Potatoes: 1 lb cut into bite-sized pieces (about 1/2-inch thick)
  • Onion: 1 peeled and thinly sliced
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Fresh Parsley: 2 tablespoons finely chopped
  • Minced Garlic: 1 tablespoon (go crazy, add more if you like!)
  • Italian Seasoning: 1 tablespoon
  • Salt and Pepper: To taste
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons diced

Method
 

For Potatoes Worth Their Salt:
  1. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a dash of salt.
  2. Dunk in your sliced potatoes and let 'em cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Drain and allow to cool—patience! You'll need 'em cool for the next step.
Assembling Your Edible Parcels:
  1. Steak Prep: Marinate the steak if you're in the mood for some extra zest.
  2. Mingle the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine steak, potatoes, onions, olive oil, parsley, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Add a pinch of salt and a twist of pepper. Mix. Yes, get in there; use your hands if you must!
  3. Packet Time: Lay out 4 squares of aluminum foil, size ’em up to about 12x12 inches. Heap equal portions of your mixture onto each. Sprinkle diced butter on top. Fold, seal; make sure they're snug as a bug.
  4. The Grand Finale: Cooking!
On a Grill or Campfire:
  1. Preheat the grill until it’s scorching hot.
  2. Each packet gets about 8-10 minutes of face-time with the grill. Flip 'em at the halfway mark.
  3. Hot Tip: Use an oven thermometer to monitor the steak after 10 minutes.
In the Oven:
  1. Preheat to 425°F.
  2. Bake for roughly 20 minutes.
  3. Want a char? Unseal the packets, switch the oven to broil, and give them 1-2 minutes to crisp up.
