A simple, wholesome, and flavorful meal that’s perfect for busy nights or outdoor grilling. These garlic butter steak and veggie foil packets bring together tender beef, crisp vegetables, and rich seasonings — all cooked together for a deliciously balanced dish with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into strips
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 cup asparagus, trimmed
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or grill:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat your grill to medium-high. - Prepare the foil packets:
Cut 4 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Lightly coat each with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. - Season the steak:
In a mixing bowl, combine steak strips with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss until evenly coated. - Add the vegetables:
Add broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, and onion to the same bowl. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and toss again until all ingredients are well coated. - Assemble the packets:
Evenly divide the steak and vegetable mixture among the foil sheets. Fold the sides up tightly to form secure packets, ensuring no steam escapes during cooking. - Cook the packets:
- For oven: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until steak is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
- For grill: Place packets directly on the grill and cook for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Serve and enjoy:
Carefully open each packet (watch for hot steam) and serve directly from the foil for a rustic presentation.
Tips and Variations
- For extra flavor, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan over the cooked vegetables before serving.
- You can substitute sirloin with chicken breast or shrimp for a lighter variation.
- Add baby potatoes or sliced bell peppers for more color and heartiness.
- To make it low-carb, keep the recipe as is — it’s already keto-friendly and packed with nutrients.
Storage
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain texture.
