Steak Foil Packets Hobo Dinner Food

STEAK FOIL PACKETS (HOBO DINNER)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (Or see notes for camp fire or grill instructions.)
• Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy duty foil, about 10-12 inches across. Regular foil will work too, just be careful not to tear it. You can double wrap if you're worried about it.
• Add 1 cup of cooked rice to the center of each sheet of foil.
• Top rice with about 1-2 teaspoons of onion soup mix.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the steak into 12 thin strips, about 1 inch across. See photos.
• Place 3 strips of steak on top of each mound of rice.
• (At this point, you can add chopped vegetables around the edges of the rice. Season with salt and pepper. See notes.)
• Pour 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk over the top of each mound of steak and rice.
• Sprinkle the remaining onion soup mix evenly over the rest of the steak in each packet.
• For each sheet of foil, bring the short ends of the foil together over the rice and steak. Press together and fold down securely over the food. For each end, fold the corners in, and then continue folding until you have a nice secure packet. See photos!
• Place the 4 packets on a large baking sheet.
• Bake at 350 for 1 hour.
• Remove from the oven and carefully open each packet, being very careful not to burn yourself with the steam.
• Serve hot!

STEAK AND POTATO PACKETS (HOBO PACKETS)

Steps:

• Tear off 4 large square sheets of aluminum foil. Drizzle all 4 foil aluminum square pieces with olive oil.
• Put 1 Tablespoon of butter on each foil sheet.
• Dice potatoes into cubes (about 1-inch). Leaving the skin on. Divide up the cubed potatoes and place on top of the butter on each aluminum foil square.
• Evenly sprinkle minced garlic and diced onion over each of the four servings. Then sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
• Drizzle with a little bit more olive oil.
• Put steak pieces on top of potatoes. Season with a bit more salt and pepper or your favorite steak seasoning.
• Drizzle with a tiny bit more olive oil and put another pat of butter on top.
• Fold up each of the sides to make a nice little bed for the potatoes, making a square so none of the butter and oil can escape while cooking.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill packets for about 35-45 minutes. Check periodically for your preferrer level of doneness for the steak.

FOIL PACKET CUBE STEAK DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 10 x 13-inch cake pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough extra foil on the long and short sides of the pan to easily seal into a foil packet later.
• Place cube steaks in aluminum foil in one layer.
• Combine condensed soup, milk and dry soup mix thoroughly and spread mixture over the meat.
• Arrange cubed (3/4-inch) potatoes (with or without skin), sliced celery (1/2-inch pieces) and baby carrots evenly over soup layer.
• Sprinkle 1 tbs. water over all vegetables.
• Seal the foil tightly, making sure that steam will not escape the packet.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Remove pan from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before opening foil packet. If vegetables are not completely cooked, re-seal the packet and bake for another 15-20 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
• Notes: Instead of cubed steak, I've also used flank steak.
