How to make Easy Steak & Potato Foil Packs with Broccoli & Cheese
Ingredients:
– 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 3 cups small red potatoes, quartered
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Aluminum foil
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the steak cubes, potatoes, and broccoli. Drizzle with olive oil.
3. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
4. Get 4 large pieces of aluminum foil and divide your prepared mixture into equal portions on them.
