Here’s a simple and delicious way to cook steak in foil—perfect for juicy, tender meat without much cleanup:
🥩 Foil-Wrapped Steak
🧾 Ingredients
- 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your favorite cut)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) optional
- Vegetables for roasting (optional): sliced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven or grill to 200°C (400°F).
- Prepare the foil packet
- Tear a large piece of aluminum foil for each steak.
- Drizzle steak with olive oil or butter, sprinkle garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Place vegetables around the steak if using.
- Fold foil over the steak and seal edges tightly to form a packet.
- Cook the steak
- Oven: Bake for 12–20 minutes depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- Grill: Place foil packets on medium heat for 10–15 minutes, flipping once.
- Check doneness
- Use a meat thermometer: 50–52°C (rare), 57–60°C (medium), 63–68°C (well done).
- Rest and serve
- Let the steak rest in the foil for 5 minutes before opening.
- Carefully open foil, pour juices over steak, and serve.
✨ Tips
- Add a splash of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
- For extra tenderness, marinate steak for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Foil packets lock in moisture, so the steak will be juicy and flavorful.
