How do you make aluminum foil packets?

Using an extra large piece of foil, fold it in half to make it sturdy.  Spray the center with nonstick cooking spray and place your ingredients in the center of the foil.  Pull up one side of the foil and then the opposite side and fold over the pieces at the top.  Roll in the other two side to secure ingredients inside, but don’t seal too tightly so the steam has the capability to expand.

Can you cook foil packets in the oven?

Yes.  You can absolutely cook foil packets in the oven.  You can also place them on the BBQ or cook them over a campfire.

How do you grill potatoes in foil?

You can cook potatoes in foil a couple of ways.

1. For this Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes recipe, cut your baby potatoes in half or quarters and boil for 4 minutes.  Drain and let cool then add to your foil packet.  This way allows you to grill the potatoes and steak at the same time and the potatoes will be tender and cooked through by the time the steak is done.
2. The other way you can grill potatoes in foil is by placing the cut potatoes in foil and sealing them up.  With a knife, puncture a few slits in the foil and grill for approximately 1 hour, turning the potatoes often while cooking.

How do you make Garlic Butter Steak and Potato Foil Packets?

1. Preheat grill to 400 degrees.
2. Make foil packets and spray with nonstick cooking spray.  Add diced potatoes to boiling water, and cook for 4 minutes.  Drain and let cool.
3. Cut steak into 1 inch pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.  Add potatoes, onions, whole garlic, and seasonings.  Mix to combine all ingredients.
4. Place steak and potato mixture into foil packets and seal.  Place on grill and cook for 20 minutes with the lid closed.  This will cook the steak to medium rare.  If you want the steak cooked more, then increase your grilling time to 25 minutes.
5. Remove foil packets from grill and top with garlic butter herb compound.  Close the foil over the steak and potatoes to allow butter to melt and serve.
