Okay, so have you ever had those days where you just want a super easy meal that feels fancy but doesn’t take forever? Like, I’m talking about a dinner that looks gourmet but is really just a bunch of stuff tossed together? Yep, I’ve got just the thing for you—Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packs!

The finished dish — looks amazing, right?

Let me tell ya, these packs are a game changer. Picture this: it’s a weeknight, you’re exhausted, and the thought of standing over the stove is just… ugh. Enter the foil pack magic! You just toss everything in, wrap it up, and let it do its thing.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, I’m at the grocery store, right? And I’m just grabbing all the goodies. You’ll need:
– 2-2 ½ pounds of top sirloin steak (like, trimmed and cut into pieces, because we don’t want a chewy experience, right?)
– 1 pound of those cute little baby yellow potatoes (just quarter them unless they’re tiny, then half them, ya know?)
– A few tablespoons of olive oil (can’t go wrong with olive oil, trust me!)
– Salt and pepper (I usually go with about a teaspoon of salt and a sprinkle of pepper, but do what feels right)
– A tablespoon of minced garlic (more garlic = more flavor, duh)
– Onion powder, dried oregano, parsley, and thyme—just a teaspoon of each, and you’re in business!
– Oh, and if you wanna be fancy, grab some fresh thyme or parsley for the top.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Alright, real talk: I make these foil packs like ALL the time. Why? Well, first off, my kids are obsessed with them! It’s like a surprise party in their dinner—everyone gets their own pack, and they love opening them up. Plus, it’s just so freaking easy. One night, I made these for a small gathering, and everyone was raving. Like, I barely did anything! I was kind of the hero of the night, not gonna lie.

And let’s be real, the clean-up? Nonexistent! Just toss the foil and you’re done. 🙌

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, here’s the kicker: make sure you toss the steak and potatoes in the olive oil and seasonings *before* you wrap them up. Seriously, it’s a game changer—the oil helps everything cook evenly, and it gets that flavor in all the cracks and crevices. Mmm, I’m salivating just thinking about it!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Don’t skimp on the seasoning. Seriously. A little more salt and pepper never hurt anyone.
– Wrap those packs tightly! You want steam to build up inside, so everything cooks beautifully.
– Start checking for doneness at 18 minutes if you’re baking. I swear, I once waited so long, and, well, let’s just say I learned my lesson. 😬

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so if you somehow have leftovers (spoiler: you probably won’t), just pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last a couple of days. Just reheat in the oven or microwave when you’re ready to dive back in.
