Garlic Butter Steak Foil Packs

Campfire garlic butter steak foil packs are a delicious and easy camping recipe that involves cooking steak along with garlic, butter, and other ingredients in aluminum foil packs over a campfire. This method allows the steak to cook gently and infuses it with the flavors of garlic and butter. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

• Steak (such as ribeye, sirloin, or New York strip)
• Garlic cloves, minced
• Butter
• Salt and pepper
• Vegetables of your choice (sliced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
• Optional: Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme) for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Campfire: Build a campfire and allow it to burn down until you have a bed of hot coals. You’ll need a consistent medium-high heat for cooking the foil packs.
2. Prepare the Foil Packs: Tear off sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, large enough to wrap each steak and accompaniments. Lay the foil sheets flat.
3. Season the Steak: Place a steak on each foil sheet. Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. You can also add any other preferred steak seasoning at this point.
4. Add Garlic and Butter: Sprinkle minced garlic over each steak. Place a few pats of butter on top of the garlic. The butter will melt and infuse the steak with flavor as it cooks.
5. Add Vegetables: Scatter your chosen vegetables around the steak. These will cook along with the steak and absorb the flavors from the garlic and butter.
6. Seal the Foil Packs: Fold the foil over the steak and vegetables, creating a tight seal. You want to make sure the foil pack is well-sealed to keep the steam and flavors inside.
7. Cook Over the Campfire: Place the foil packs on the hot coals of the campfire, not directly in the flames. Cook for about 8-12 minutes on each side, depending on your desired level of doneness and the thickness of the steak. You can adjust the cooking time based on your preferences.
8. Check for Doneness: Open one foil pack carefully to check the steak’s doneness. It should be cooked to your preferred level (rare, medium-rare, medium, etc.). If needed, you can cook it for a bit longer.
9. Serve: Once the steak is cooked to your liking, carefully remove the foil packs from the fire. Open the packs, and you’ll be greeted with delicious, juicy steak and flavorful vegetables.
10. Enjoy: Serve the steak and vegetables directly from the foil packs or transfer them to plates. The garlic butter and campfire-infused flavors will make this meal a camping favorite.

Remember that cooking times can vary based on factors like the heat of the fire, the thickness of the steak, and personal preferences. Always exercise caution when handling hot foil packs and fire.
