### Ingredients:
– 2 steaks (sirloin, ribeye, or any preferred cut)
– 4 medium-sized potatoes, thinly sliced
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or fresh, if preferred)
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
### Instructions:
#### 1. Preheat Your Grill or Oven
To get started, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F), or preheat your oven to 400°F if you’re cooking inside.
#### 2. Prepare the Potatoes
Slice your potatoes into thin rounds. This will help them cook more evenly and quickly inside the foil packet. Drizzle a little olive oil over the potatoes and toss them with salt, pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Make sure the potatoes are evenly seasoned to get that flavor in every bite.
3. Prepare the Steak
Season your steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. If you’re using thick cuts, consider searing them for a couple of minutes on each side in a hot pan for added flavor and texture. If you’re skipping the sear, no worries—just season them well and they’ll cook beautifully in the foil.

#### 4. Assemble the Foil Packets
Cut large sheets of aluminum foil—enough to fold over and seal the packets tightly. Place a layer of seasoned potatoes on the foil, then top with your seasoned steak. Dot the steak and potatoes with cubes of butter. The butter will melt as the packet cooks, infusing everything with rich flavor and helping to keep the steak tender.
#### 5. Seal the Packets
Fold the sides of the foil up over the steak and potatoes, creating a sealed packet. Make sure the packets are tightly sealed to trap all the heat and juices inside. You don’t want any of that flavorful steam to escape!
#### 6. Cook the Foil Packets
If you’re grilling, place the foil packets directly on the grill. Grill for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your steak and the desired level of doneness. If you’re cooking in the oven, place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness around the 20-minute mark.
For a medium-rare steak, aim for a cooking time closer to 20 minutes. For well-done, give it a little more time. The potatoes will also be tender when pierced with a fork, signaling that they are ready.
#### 7. Serve and Enjoy
Once the foil packets are done, carefully open them (watch out for hot steam). The potatoes should be soft and golden, and the steak should be cooked to perfection, with the butter melting over the steak and potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
### Tips for the Best Butter Steak and Potato Foil Packets
1. **Customizing Vegetables:** Feel free to add other vegetables to the foil packet like carrots, bell peppers, or onions for extra flavor and texture.
2. **Steak Variations:** If you like your steak extra flavorful, try marinating it for a few hours before assembling the packets.
3. **Oven vs. Grill:** Whether you’re cooking on the grill or in the oven, the foil packet method ensures that all the flavors stay locked in, making it a foolproof way t
