Garlic Butter Steak Bites & Potatoes in Foil Packets Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 ½ lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Serves 6 | Cook Time 30–35 minutes
How to Make: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, or the oven to 425°F. Cut six large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly grease the centers with olive oil. Place the halved baby potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, cover loosely, and microwave for 5–7 minutes until slightly tender, then drain thoroughly. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the steak bites and partially cooked potatoes, tossing until evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture. Divide everything evenly among the foil sheets, arranging the potatoes underneath and the steak pieces on top. Fold and seal the foil tightly into packets, leaving a little room for steam to circulate. Place on the grill over indirect heat or on a baking sheet in the oven and cook for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the steak reaches your preferred doneness. For a beautifully browned finish like the image, carefully open the packets and briefly broil the steak and potatoes for 2–3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning. Allow the packets to rest for a few minutes, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm with the flavorful garlic butter juices.
Chicken Fajita Foil Packets Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp fajita seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Serves 6 | Cook Time 20–25 minutes
How to Make: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, or the oven to 425°F. Prepare six large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly grease the centers. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken breasts, red, yellow, and green bell peppers, and sliced onion. Drizzle with olive oil and fresh lime juice, then sprinkle with fajita seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the seasonings. Divide the mixture equally among the foil sheets, spreading everything into even layers for consistent cooking. Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal the edges tightly, leaving enough space for steam to circulate. Arrange the packets on the grill over indirect heat or on a baking sheet in the oven and cook for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Carefully open the packets to release the hot steam. For lightly charred edges like the image, transfer the cooked chicken and vegetables to a hot skillet and sear briefly for 1–2 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm directly from the foil packets.
Teriyaki Chicken and Pineapple Foil Packets Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped
Serves 6 | Cook Time 20–25 minutes
How to Make: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, or the oven to 425°F. Prepare six large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly brush the centers with olive oil. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined. Add the chicken chunks, pineapple pieces, and sliced red and green bell peppers, tossing gently until everything is evenly coated with the flavorful teriyaki mixture. Divide the chicken, pineapple, and vegetables evenly among the foil sheets, spooning the remaining sauce over each portion. Fold the foil into tightly sealed packets, leaving some space inside for steam circulation. Place the packets on the grill over indirect heat or on a baking sheet in the oven and cook for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the pineapple and peppers are tender. Carefully open the packets, allowing the steam to escape. For the caramelized appearance shown in the image, transfer the cooked chicken, pineapple, and vegetables to a hot skillet and sauté briefly for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned and the sauce becomes glossy. Return everything to the foil packets, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve warm with the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce.
Garlic Butter Shrimp Foil Packets Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails optional
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Serves 6 | Cook Time 10–12 minutes
How to Make: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, or the oven to 425°F. Prepare six large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly brush the centers with olive oil. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring until well blended. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the shrimp and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated. Divide the shrimp among the foil sheets, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking. Place thin lemon slices around and underneath the shrimp, then spoon any remaining garlic butter over the top. Fold the foil into sealed packets, leaving a little room for steam to circulate. Arrange the packets on the grill over indirect heat or on a baking sheet in the oven and cook for 10–12 minutes, checking slightly earlier if the shrimp are small, until they turn pink, opaque, and reach 145°F internally. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp juicy and tender. Carefully open the packets, sprinkle generously with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately with the warm lemon garlic butter sauce.
Sausage & Potato Foil Packets Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 ½ lb baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Serves 6 | Cook Time 25–30 minutes
How to Make: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, or the oven to 425°F. Prepare six large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly grease the centers. Place the halved baby potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, cover loosely, and microwave for 5–7 minutes until slightly tender, then drain well. In a large mixing bowl, combine the partially cooked potatoes, sliced smoked sausage, chopped red and green bell peppers, and chopped onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until the sausage and vegetables are evenly coated with oil and seasonings. Divide the mixture equally among the foil sheets, spreading the ingredients into even layers. Fold and seal the packets securely, leaving enough space for steam to circulate. Arrange the packets on the grill over indirect heat or on a baking sheet in the oven and cook for 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender, the vegetables are softened, and the sausage is heated through. Carefully open the packets and briefly broil for 2–3 minutes to give the sausage golden-brown edges and lightly caramelize the vegetables, as shown in the image. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot directly from the foil packets.
