Butter Garlic Herb Steak Foil Packets have melt in your mouth beef with hearty veggies that are grilled to perfection with butter that has garlic and herbs inside. This is one amazing meal that you don’t want to miss out on!
We have been loving every second of this warm weather and trying to get the thousands of things ready before baby gets here. We spent all day on Saturday doing yard work together. I love yard work but things are getting difficult with only about a week to go until this babe gets here. My back is out and my feet are so swollen. It feels so good to put my feet up and relax and eat some chocolate. 🙂
We love that this weekend is a long weekend and I love planning for Memorial Day. We love having a big BBQ followed by a fire and s’mores. Foil packets are one of my all time favorite things to grill. It is the perfect meal in one.
MY OTHER RECIPESWhen I was thinking about how to switch up our normal foil packets I wanted to include steak for my steak loving son. And what better thing to include with them is a butter with garlic and herbs? It just melts while it cooks and creates the most tender and perfect steak and veggies.
We absolutely loved these foil packets! Easily one of our favorites. I love how the grill gives the slightly charred edges. These were full of amazing flavor and I loved the combination of the herbs.
You guys have got to grill these this summer. They are fantastic and will become a new favorite at your house as well!

What a brilliant idea. Having just bought a brand new barbecue I’m looking for great recipes. This totally hits the spot, especially as I’m the world’s worst steak griller!
I’m going to give these a try today. I’m going to switch up the veggies a bit as it’s time to empty the fridge & no one will eat cooked carrots. I have onions, mushrooms, peppers, green beans & potato’s . So we’ll see how what I can do with this .
That sounds delicious!! Thanks for sharing! XO
If u don’t own a grill.. can you bake or broil in oven? If so what temp and how long?
hey girl= yummy!
I’m just wondering I’d you grilled the steak before adding it to the packets. It us so beautifully browned and I can’t see that happening being steamed in a foil packet.
It will cook perfectly on your grill all together in the foil packets. If you like your steak cooked medium well or well done then you may want to keep it on the fire a little longer. If you need to speed up the time or doing it over a campfire I would recommend cooking it before on the stove and warming them up in the foil packets on the grill or campfire.These are perfect for camping too! I am in LOVE with tinfoil dinners!
For this dinner I cooked it all in the tinfoil packet and at the end I flipped the packet over and placed it directly on the flame to give the edges a slight char. Hope that helps!! Xo
Yep! Just made. Definitley no charred areas. Cook meat seperately, and only do veggies in the packet if you are looking for it to come up like the picture.
I just made this also. Really great taste, but no char.
Alyssa stated, at the end of the grilling time, take the packet off the grill and place it directly on the fire. That should char the ingredients.
Can you please describe how you ‘flipped the packets over’ to get a char. Do,you,mean you opened the packets and,flipped the contents onto a grilling pan on the grill? Or just flipped the unopened packets over? Not sure what you mean….in order to,obtain a char on the contents.
I just used tongs and flipped the whole unopened package so the hot grilled side was facing up. I flipped it after 10 min., turned the grill heat up to high and finished it off (5-10 min. depending how well done you want your steak). I like it charred and this seemed to work the best for my grill.
I gave this 4 stars due to tweaking but it shows 5?
I flip my packets usimg 2 spatulas
How would you get char on steak wrapped in foil?
I flipped the packet at the end and cooked it on direct heat for the remainder of the time. I have the instructions at the bottom of the recipe for more clarification! Hope that helps!! Xo
So you cooked it using indirect heat then moved it over the flames (still in the packet) to brown it up?
Exactly!! It is always a tasty meal and charred on the edges for our family dinners!! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!! Xo
Curious….Its like 110 here this weekend….nobody wants to go outside and I sure don’t want to turn the oven on…Has anyone tried searing the meat and then cooking it a crock pot?
I sear our steak in a hot skillet (have the stove top fan on high) and put it in the crock pot- it cooks all day on low and it is really tender and juicy
MMMM! That sounds delicious!! Thanks for sharing!! Xo
Can it be cooked in the oven too? how long and what temperature?
thx!
Yes! Just put it on a cookie sheet to bake. 400* for 30-40 minutes. You will want to flip it and cook another 15 minutes or until the steak is cooked to your temperature liking. Others have said 350* for 60 minutes too. Good luck!! Let me know how it turns out!! XO
Literally just cooked this in the oven! YUMMY! Family loved it!! Thank you for such an awesome recipe 😊👍🏾
Oh AWESOME!! That is SO great to hear!! I am glad it worked out great in the oven!! Thanks for sharing!! XO
do you cover it it when u cook it in the oven
Hi Alyssa, we are teaching our 11 year d son to cook. He loves using the grill and also loves packet cooking. This dish is going to be his next endeavor. Planning on 4th of July. For Father’s Day, he made his Dad the shrimp boil foil packets and they were amazing. Excited to let you know how these turned out for him. Any other packet recipes would be appreciated.
AWESOME!! That is so great he loves to cook!! Way to go!! I will keep that in mind for about another recipe:)! Always trying new and fun things here. I am so happy he is great at cooking and has been making some of my recipes! That puts a smile on my face!! Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing! Xo
Good Morning Alyssa and thanks for posting this recipe.
What would you recommended I use for a meat marinade the night before grilling?
Thanks in advance~☺
How high do you put your grill on? What temperature? It looks delicious..want to try it tonight!
What temperature do you have the grill on when you cook for 15 min.
I was wondering the same thing
How well would these do in the oven? We’re currently grill-less, but these look amazing!
i did 350 for 30 mins…. checked them and they needed to go back in so did another 30 mins it was great.
Thanks, Kim. That was going to be my question. We’re the steaks done medium rare?
You can do foil packets anywhere if you have something like a metal trash can lid also an area outside, get coals started in a chimney and pour on lid then spread out coals and lay packets on coals turn over cook longer
What temp would you grill at?
Every grill setting is different but we had ours set to medium high for 15 minutes with the lid closed. It may vary depending on your grill. I hope that helps! Good Luck!!
The sirloin steak was tender after only 15 minutes?
YES!! It is so flavorful and tasty!! If you would like your steaks cooked longer that is great too! Just make sure to flip them at the very end so they can have the charred look and appearance when serving them!! Hope that helps! Xo
Literally just made this. Still chewing! Great flavors, but to come out like the picture, I would recommend only doing the veggies in the foil packets and cooking the steak seperately, directly on the grill. Definitely looks nothing like above, but still tastes great. No charred areas whatsoever on the steak or veggies, and there is oily, watery stuff at the bottom of each foil packet. Love this recipe though, will use again – but will tweak moving forward. Came together easily and with little mess, which is great when it’s hot and you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen assembling, cooking and cleaning up! A couple of questions – open or closed grill? Also, what heat do you get your grill to? Thanks!
Hello made these tonight. They didn’t look all charred like yours. They were ok. My husband asked if to add more flavor to meat if I was to marinade the meat before grilling. Peppers,onions, herbs all came straight from the garden. I just wanted the meat to have more flavor. It was top sirloin cut in 1″ pieces. Any suggestions.
I am grilless …. 🙁 … Was wondering it i would be able to do this in the oven? Guess I could pop them open under the broiler instead of flipping them over, you think?
The oven would work great too! Place the packets on a baking sheet in the oven at 400* for about 55 minutes to one hour until the potatoes are soft and the meat is cooked through to your liking. Flip half way through. Check it half way through. I haven’t made this recipe in the oven yet! You will have to let me know how it turned out!! Good luck!
I think I would probably quickly brown the meat first & then add everything to the packets to cook the inside.
Um,do you pre cook potatoes before hand,I don’t see raw potatoes done in 15 mins
Thats what I came here to find out! And the Carrots too they often take longer..
Just made this. Literally, eating it as I type. Came out great. I did the flipping the packets trick and got a nice char. Would reccommend a little more salt and a little more garlic (I didn’t use fresh, used the kind in the jar), but all in all delish! <3
PERFECT!! So happy to hear! I love that the “flip” trick worked for you too!! Thanks for sharing! Xo
How did you flip it without the butter all see
Jung out of that side of the package?
Let’s try that again without the typos. How did you flip it without the butter seeping out of the seamed side?
My foil packets are wrapped very tight. Nothing can get out of them!! Make sure to seal them as tight as you can before grilling them. Hope that helps!!
They also haveborenade foil bags at the grocery store with all sides sealed except one end. That’s what I use.
Sorry pre made foil bags
Sorry pre made foil bags typo error
I’ve done something like this called Cowboy Stew for many yrs with hamburg and buillion cube in packet along with veggies and butter. Delious, tho I recommend not adding salt. Love this idea with steak as each person gets own steak/ veggies at same time. Gonna try Rib Eye steak. YUMO!
Hi. We made this last night. It didn’t turn out the same as your video, and we followed your instructions to a tee (we even did the flip). When we opened the packets, it was more like the beef was stewed with the vegetables and there was a lot of liquid. Any suggestions Dow to prevent it from being beef stew the next time we make it?
OH BUMMER!! I am so sorry to hear that!! I would maybe recommend raising the heat to a higher temperature. It may help out. I am not sure what went wrong if you did the exact recipe and the flip. I hope you will try it again and it works better for you!
Would like to confirm that I should have the grill at medium high heat. When I place the packets on the grill and cover, are they placed on indirect side? Then when I flip the packets should I place the packets on the direct side for another 10-15 minutes?
Yes, place the packets on direct flame before and after the flip. Hope that helps and it turns out great for you!!
Sounds like you need to show the grilling part in a video! Can’t wait to try this!
lol! Right?!? haha I am going to have to update my video soon!
Can i doit in the oven if yes in what temperature
Hey! So excited to try this looks great!
We have a charcoal grill and I’m assuming the one you used was propane?
May I suggest maybe a little more info next recipe if needed of course. We’re at over an hour in and it’s still not cooked and does looks like beef stew.
Still thankful and still excited! Thank you
I made this tonite on the gas grill at about *400. I was going to ask if you cooked it on its side or top up? I cooked it 20 min top up, slightly not on top of the fire medium flame. I could bite through the potatoes and carrots but they probably could have used 15 more minutes. I didnt want to overcook the meat. I couldn’t get a char either but it made a great flavor. I served it in a shallow bowl so the family could get the taste of the juices with each bite. What I liked MOST about this recipe, is that I got to sit at my prep table in the a/c to put it all together and then just check on the grill lol. That is important in TX. when it gets really hot (IMO). Thanks for sharing this recipe.
AWESOME!! That is great to hear! I am sorry it didn’t char but I do love how you served it to your family with ALL the flavors! It is one of our family favorites!! Not too much of a mess either:)! Good luck with your heat in Texas! Xo
Good morning I would like to know if I can used a chunk roast thank you for the help .
Yes, a chuck roast would be fine! I would do the same thing with flipping it at the end. I haven’t tried it yet!! You will have to let me know what it tastes like!! Hope it turns out well! Good luck! Xo
Is it possible to make in the oven, and if so how long would it take and at what temperature
sounds great! but what if you, like us, have a regular charcoal grill – not gas? please explain using one of those…
Thank you for this inspiring recipe! I have been waiting all week to make this. My family and I are devouring it right now actually. Like most of the comments, ours turned out like beef stew. After reading all of the comments I will grill it directly on the coals next time.
On a side note…the garlic herb butter in this recipe makes for absolutely amazing garlic toast. I had enough left for two slices and broiled my toast on high. It was the best I have ever had!!!
That is so great to hear!! I LOVE the addition of the garlic toast!! Thank you for sharing!!
I am making this for Father’s Day and want it to be great! Few confusing things when reading comments. Do I seal the packets tightly? Something said that to leave open for steam. If wanting meat medium rare how long should I barbeque for ? And on direct flame before and after flipping?
This looks really good, but I don’t like my steak cooked through. What about adding the steak after the veggies have cooked for about 10 minutes? Maybe get a medium steak?
can this receipt be done in an oven instead of a bar-b-cue….with good results
HI, I was wondering I if I could use flank steak? I have one in my fridge that needs used and I have never cooked with flank steak before. Thanks
I just made these for dinner using a George Foreman grill and they came really good. A little dry, but that was totally my fault, not enough butter and my timer didn’t start so I think they stayed on longer than I meant for them to. I was going to cook the same time as the recipe calls for, I also have an older model that allows you to select the temperature and it was on high. We will definitely try this again.
I put these over medium high for 10 minutes (about 400 degrees) and then flipped over on high (about 500) for 5 minutes. The steak was so well done, it wasn’t edible. But, the potatoes and veggies cooked well.
Can tell me what kind of butter to use? Salted, unsalted, margarine?
The steak with mushroom sound so good, Going to try this on our next camping trip…Thank You for sharing.
Oh GOOD!!! That is going to be a great camping meal! Good luck!! XOXO
I have two ribeye whole steaks in the refrigerator. Can I leave the steak hole and cook like you are suggesting?
Do you have any suggestions for cooking this on a campfire? Since I can’t cover like I would on the grill would it just take longer?
Would love to try this but no grill do I have! If I did it in the oven what temperature should I put the oven on and for about how long? Thank you in advance!
Can you do this. In oven
Cna I sue the oven instead of the grill?
Hi. Can you tell me what temp you run your grill at for these packets? Thanks.
Any way you can make these in the oven?
On the steak foil package how do you char the meat and veggies with out loading the butter
Can you do this in the oven? Temp? Time?
How on earth are the potatoes and steak supposed to cook together? I find potatoes take a MUCH longer time on the grill to get tender than the steak. Please advise!
Will be trying this recipe this week! Glad for all the tips on here, God bless your patience with all these comments Alyssa Lol
Awe!! Thank you so much!! Let me know how it goes! This is a summertime favorite for our family!! Happy cooking!! XOXO
Sorry, that was supposed to say I can’t wait to try this on our next camping trip!!
Will make the foil pack but will put them in the oven. I am to old to grill
This was awesome. I really didn’t think everything would cook in 15 minutes but I was totally surprised. My 44 year old daughter, who is my worst critic, really liked it.. Will absolutely be making this again and again and again. Thanks.
That is so great to hear!! I am so glad you won your daughter over! We love this recipe! Thanks for sharing!! XOXO
I will be trying this recipe for the first time. One question I have though, can you bake or broil this in the oven insted of grilling?
Can you cook this on the stove?
Has anyone tried this recipe with chicken? We don’t eat steak much and I would love to try it with chicken but I’m not sure how it will turn out
Hi, thanks so much for this recipe. I don’t have a grill so I put this in the oven instead. I’m sure it doesn’t have the same grill flavor, but it was still really good. I prepared it just the same and then put it all in a glass casserole dish covered with foil and baked at 350* for 65 minutes. The veggies cooked nicely and the steak didn’t dry out. I’d love to make this on the grill, but for now I’ll still definitely be making this again. Thanks.
That is perfect! I am so glad it turned out and you loved it!! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO
How long would you bake these in the oven?
Seriously people?? 500 comments and 90 % of the questions area the same. The recipe is easy. Made this and it came out perfect thank you for the recipe.
This is one of the best meal I have made. I just replaced the meat for vegan options. It was wonderful!
That is great to hear! I am so glad that you like it! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO
What temperature can you do the foil steak packets in the oven instead of the grill? For how long please. Your recipes are awesome.
I follow this recipe but i did added some Cajun before grilling and squeezed in some lemon at the end before serving and it makes it even more flavorful
Can these packets be frozen for later use?
I haven’t tried freezing them but that is a great idea! You are welcome to try and see how they turn out!
could this be assembled ahead of time and then taken on a camping trip?
Yes! I even like to cook them ahead of time then once you warm them up on the fire it is so tasty and ready in minutes! Enjoy your camping trip! XOXO
Saved this recipe for some time now and I’m starting to do grilling. If I want my steak to be medium rare, how long do I cook the foil packets?
About 12 minutes would be great for medium rare! Enjoy your grilled foil packets! I love these in the spring/summer time!! XOXO
If I were to throw this in the oven instead of grill. What temp would I use and for how long please? Thank you this recipe looks amazing 🙂
