Why You’ll Love This Potato Steak Broccoli Foil Pack
There are plenty of reasons why I turn to this recipe time and time again:

- Balanced meal – Protein, carbs, and veggies all in one packet.

Ingredients You’ll Need
(Serves 2-3 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes)
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 pound steak, cut into bite-sized pieces (sirloin or ribeye work great)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Aluminum foil
How to Make Sizzling Potato Steak Broccoli Foil Packs
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If you’re grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Tear and Prepare the Foil
Tear off large sheets of aluminum foil — big enough to fold over and seal each packet securely. I like to double-layer the foil for added strength and to prevent leaks.
3. Mix Everything Together
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, steak pieces, and broccoli florets. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and stir everything well to coat the ingredients evenly.
4. Create the Foil Packs
Spoon equal portions of the mixture onto each piece of foil. Fold up the sides, bring the ends together, and tightly seal to create secure foil packs.
5. Bake or Grill
Place the foil packs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. If grilling, place the packs directly on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through. You’ll know they’re done when the potatoes are fork-tender and the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness.
6. Open and Serve
Carefully open each foil pack — be cautious of the steam when unsealing! Serve straight from the foil for a fun, casual meal or plate it up with your favorite sides.
Tips for Perfect Foil Pack Meals
- Cut ingredients evenly – Make sure your potatoes and steak pieces are similar in size so everything cooks evenly.
- Pre-cook potatoes if you’re short on time – Microwave diced potatoes for a few minutes before adding to the foil packs to speed up cooking.
- Add extra flavor – A squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of Parmesan, or a drizzle of barbecue sauce after baking adds amazing flavor.
- Switch up the protein – Chicken or shrimp also work beautifully with the same seasoning.
- Use heavy-duty foil – This helps avoid tearing and leaking, especially if you’re cooking over a grill or campfire.
Fun Variations to Try
- Add bell peppers and onions for extra color and sweetness.
- Use Cajun or steak seasoning for a bolder flavor twist.
- Top with shredded cheese in the last 5 minutes of baking for a melty finish.
- Serve with a dipping sauce – Garlic butter or ranch dressing on the side makes each bite even better.
