With the Corona virus causing us to eat at home more often and not always having the ingredients we need due to a shortage in our area we have started to experiment with new ways to cook things. Today we tried foil packs to give us the camping cookout feeling at home.
- 23 oz. steak, cut into 2 inch cubes
- 1 Tbsp. smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. thyme
- 1/2 tsp. oregano
- 1/2 tsp. brown sugar
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces (if using baby carrots, either half or quarter them to get 1/2 inch pieces)
- salt (to taste)
- shredded cheddar cheese
- bacon bits
-
Wash, cut and peel your carrots and potatoes.
-
Boil your potatoes and carrots for 5 minutes in a saucepan with no lid.
-
Set out 4 pieces of aluminum foil, at least 12×12 inches. Place on large cookie sheet.
-
Mix your steak seasoning in a mixing bowl.
-
Cut your steak into 2 inch pieces. Toss your steak in the seasoning.
-
Drain your carrots and potatoes. Salt to taste.
-
Add your steak, carrots and potatoes to the middle of the foil squares. Dividing evenly among the packs.

Top potatoes with shredded cheese.
-
Lightly close your packs at the top.
-
Bake the steak foil packs at 425°F for around 25-30 minutes, or until done to your liking.

Remove from oven and place on plates. Carefully open the packs and top your potatoes with bacon bits. Serve in packs for a creative look.
