1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Wash and prepare all vegetables as noted. Ensure the potatoes are small enough to cook through quickly.
- In a large bowl, mix together the steak cubes, sliced bell peppers, onions, and baby potatoes.
2. Season the Mixture:
- Drizzle the olive oil and Worcestershire sauce over the steak and vegetables. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs. Toss everything together until well coated.
3. Assemble the Foil Packs:
- Cut large squares of aluminum foil, enough to fold over and seal the contents.
- Divide the steak and vegetable mixture evenly among the foil squares. Fold the foil over the contents and seal the edges well, leaving some space for steam to circulate inside.
4. Cooking the Foil Packs:
- On a Grill: Place the foil packs on a preheated grill over medium-high heat. Cook for about 10-15 minutes per side.
- In an Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your liking and the vegetables are tender.
- Over a Campfire: Place the foil packs on hot coals, not directly in the flames. Cook for about 10-15 minutes per side, depending on the heat of the coals.
5. Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packs (watch out for steam), and check that everything is cooked through.
- Serve directly from the foil for an easy cleanup, or transfer to plates if preferred.
Tips for Perfect Steak Foil Packs:
- Ensure Even Cooking: Cut the steak and vegetables into uniform sizes to promote even cooking.
- Sealing the Foil: Make sure the foil packs are sealed tightly to prevent any juices from leaking and to ensure the food steams properly.
- Customization: Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences, or add sauces like BBQ or soy sauce for a different flavor profile.
These steak foil packs are not only easy to make but also delicious and fun to eat, providing a flavorful and satisfying meal with minimal effort and cleanup.
