Notes
- Cut steak into pieces about 2 ½ inches and potatoes less than 1 inch for even cooking.
- Boiling potatoes for 5 minutes before packing helps achieve medium doneness on steak while ensuring potatoes cook fully.
- For a grilled char, open foil packets near the end and cook directly over heat or broil briefly after baking.
