Whether you’re setting off on an exciting camping trip, planning a cozy cookout in the backyard or you just want to sink your teeth into something tasty, these steak and potato foil packets are sure to hit the spot. They’re buttery, garlicky and delicious.
You can cook these at home or on the road. Also known as hobo packets, these foil packets call for very few ingredients and you can always customize them adding other veggies, spices or seasonings. It’s easiest to use small potatoes as you don’t have to waste time peeling them. As for the steak, top sirloin is a great choice as it comes out juicy when cooked in foil like this.
It’s best to par-boil the potatoes before adding them to the foil packets, otherwise you’re running the risk of them still being hard when the steak is done. Let them cool enough so you can handle them and then proceed with the recipe.
