- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (adjust to taste)

If you’re baking, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure the steak and potatoes cook evenly and develop a nice caramelization.

2. Mix & Marinate:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sirloin steak chunks, baby yellow potatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat everything evenly. This step ensures that every bite is infused with robust flavors.
3. Prepare the Foil Packets:
Take four 12×12 inch sheets of aluminum foil and divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among them. Fold the foil over the ingredients, sealing the edges tightly. This will trap all the steam and flavors inside, ensuring a moist and flavorful result.
4. Cooking Options:
- Grilling: Heat your grill to high. Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates and cook for about 10 minutes on each side. Check the steak for your preferred doneness.
- Oven: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. The steak should be tender, and the potatoes should be soft and flavorful.
5. Serve:
Carefully open the foil packets (be mindful of the hot steam) and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve the meal directly from the foil for a rustic presentation or plate it for a more elegant touch.
