Beef and Onion Foil Packet Dinner
Beef and Onion Foil Packet Dinner
This 5-ingredient Beef and Onion Foil Packet Dinner is a simple, rustic comfort meal inspired by classic Midwestern meat-and-potatoes cooking. It delivers deep savory flavor with almost no cleanup, making it perfect for busy weeknights or easy meal prep.
Foil packet cooking has long been associated with camping and outdoor cooking, where ingredients are sealed tightly and allowed to steam in their own juices over open heat. This oven version brings that same convenience indoors, creating a hearty, flavorful dinner with minimal effort.
The combination of thinly sliced beef, sweet onions, and tender baby potatoes creates a rich, comforting dish that feels both homestyle and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds thinly sliced beef steak (such as sirloin or round)
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved (or small potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons steak seasoning (or all-purpose seasoning blend)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray (optional, for foil)
