Preheat Your Grill or Oven:
If you’re using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using an oven, preheat to 400°F.
Prepare the Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the steak cubes, baby potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss everything together until well-coated.
Assemble the Foil Packets:
Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12×12 inches each).
Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among the foil pieces.
Fold the sides of the foil over the mixture to create a packet, making sure to seal it tightly to prevent leaks.
Cook:
For Grill: Place the foil packets directly on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
For Oven: Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
Check for Doneness:
Carefully open one packet (watch out for steam!) to check if the potatoes are tender and the steak is cooked to your liking.
Serve:
Once cooked, remove the packets from the grill or oven. Allow them to cool for a minute before opening.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your delicious garlic steak and potatoes!
Tips:
You can customize this dish by adding other veggies like bell peppers or onions.
Adjust the cooking time based on how well-done you like your steak. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
Serve with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
Enjoy your nostalgic meal! If you have any modifications or special touches from your family’s version, feel free to share!
