How To Make Garlic Steak & Potato Foil Packets
If you’re planning to bake these delectable foil packets in the oven, preheat it to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even cooking.

Packet Prep: Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among four 12×12 inch aluminum foil sheets.
Carefully seal the contents to create neat and secure foil packets.
This ensures that the flavors are trapped inside and intensify during the cooking process.
Cooking Options:
Grilling: If you’re using a grill, place the foil packets over high heat for approximately 10 minutes on each side.
Keep a close watch to achieve your preferred level of doneness for both the steak and potatoes.
Oven: If you’re opting for baking, position the foil packets on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven.
