✔ 3 tablespoons butter, melted
✔ 4 cloves garlic, minced
✔ 2 tablespoons olive oil
✔ 1 teaspoon salt
✔ ½ teaspoon black pepper
✔ 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (adds a smoky depth!)
✔ ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (for a herby touch!)
✔ ½ teaspoon onion powder
✔ ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick!)
✔ 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat your grill to medium-high.
- Cut 4 large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12 inches each).
2️⃣ Season the Steak & Potatoes
- In a large bowl, toss the steak and potatoes with olive oil, melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Ensure everything is evenly coated with the seasoning.
3️⃣ Assemble the Foil Packets
- Divide the steak and potatoes evenly among the foil sheets.
- Seal the packets tightly by folding the edges together, creating a secure pouch to trap in all the juicy flavors.
4️⃣ Cook to Perfection
- Oven Method: Place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Grill Method: Cook on a preheated grill over medium-high heat for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Campfire Method: Place foil packets on hot coals and cook for 20–25 minutes, rotating occasionally.
5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
- Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam!).
- Garnish with fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with shredded cheese or extra melted butter.
- Serve directly from the foil for an easy, no-mess meal!
