Garlic Steak Foil Packets Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect garlic steak foil packets:
- Start with quality steak – This is one recipe where you really want to use good quality steak. I like to use New York strip steak, but ribeye or filet mignon would also be great choices.
- Season the steak well – Be generous with your seasoning, and don’t be afraid to get a little bit messy. I like to use a steak rub that has lots of garlic and herbs in it.
- Use baby potatoes – Baby potatoes cook quickly, and they’re the perfect size for these foil packets. If you can’t find baby potatoes, you can cut regular potatoes into small pieces.
- Use fresh herbs – Fresh herbs really brighten up the flavors in these steak foil packets. I like to use rosemary and thyme, but you could also use oregano or basil.
- Cook the steak to your liking – I like my steak medium rare, but cook the steak to your liking. If you’re not sure how long to cook it, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak.

Garlic Steak Foil Packets Variations
If you’re looking for a little variation, there are a few different ways that you can change up these garlic steak foil packets. Here are a few ideas:
- Use different steak – If you’re not a fan of New York strip steak, you can use any type of steak that you like. Ribeye, filet mignon, or even flank steak would be great choices.
- Change up the potatoes – If you don’t want to use baby potatoes, you could use regular potatoes that have been cut into small pieces. Or, for a lower-carb option, you could use sweet potatoes or cauliflower.
- Use different herbs – If you’re not a fan of rosemary or thyme, you could use any type of herb that you like. Oregano, basil, or even parsley would be great choices.
- Add some veggies – If you want to add some extra veggies to these steak foil packets, there are plenty of options. Mushrooms, onions, peppers, and zucchini would all be great choices.
- Make it spicy – If you like your food with a little bit of a kick, you can add some spice to these steak foil packets. A little bit of cayenne pepper or chili powder would be a great way to add some heat.

Can I Make These Foil Packets Ahead of Time?
