Customizable—swap seasonings, add veggies, or go spicy

Great for meal prep, camping, or feeding a crowd

Ingredients
1½ lbs thinly sliced beef steak (sirloin, round, or flank—ask your butcher to slice it thin!)

2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced

1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved (or quartered if large)

3 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp steak seasoning (like Montreal blend, or mix: garlic powder + onion powder + smoked paprika + black pepper)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional, depending on your seasoning)

Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Nonstick cooking spray (optional, for easy release)

💡 Pro Tip: No pre-sliced beef? Freeze a whole steak for 20 minutes, then slice paper-thin with a sharp knife.

 

Step-by-Step Instructions
(Simple—but don’t skip the foil seal!)

1. Prep & Preheat

Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.

Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil (about 12×18 inches). Lightly spray the center of each with nonstick spray (optional but helpful for release).

2. Divide & Layer

Evenly divide ingredients among the 4 foil sheets:

→ ¼ of the potatoes

→ ¼ of the onions

→ ¼ of the beef slices

Drizzle each portion with ¾ tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with ½ tsp steak seasoning. Add a pinch of salt/pepper if needed.
