Grilled Steak and Garlic Butter Potatoes
Ingredients
For the Potatoes:
1/2 cup (125 mL) garlic butter, divided
26 ounces (740 g) Yukon potatoes, washed (peeled or unpeeled), cut into chunks
1/4 cup (65 mL) diced onion
2 tsp fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup (85 mL) cooked diced bacon
1/3 cup (85 mL) green onions (or shallots), sliced
For the Steak:
2 pounds (908 g) tenderloin or rib eye, at room temperature
Salt, to taste
1/4 cup (65 mL) grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup (65 mL) grated mozzarella cheese
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat Grill
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Step 2: Prepare the Garlic Butter
Divide the garlic butter in half and melt one half in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Step 3: Prepare the Potatoes
Blend the potatoes and diced onion in a bowl.
Pour the melted garlic butter over the potatoes and onion, then set aside.
Step 4: Prepare the Steak
Slice the meat into 2-inch thick slices.
Spread the remaining unmelted garlic butter over the steak to coat evenly.
Step 5: Assemble the Foil Packets
Tear four or six 15-inch (40 cm) pieces of aluminum foil and lay them out on a work surface.
Spread the steak and potatoes on the top half of each sheet.
Sprinkle with parsley and season with salt and pepper.
Fold the sides of the foil over the steak and potatoes, then fold the entire bottom half of the foil over the ingredients to join the ends. Seal to prevent liquid from spilling out.
Step 6: Grill the Packets
Place foil packets on the hot grill, cover, and cook for 7 minutes on one side.
Flip and cook the other side for 5 minutes more, until the potatoes are cooked through.
Step 7: Add Cheese and Bacon
Carefully open the packets (watch out for escaping steam).
Sprinkle the cheese over the potatoes and allow it to melt for another 3 minutes while leaving the packets on the grill.
Top the potatoes with the cooked bacon and green onions. Season with a little more salt and pepper if needed.
Enjoy!
