Tips:

  • Choose the Right Steak: Select a steak that is at least 1 inch thick for best results.
  • Marinate the Steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil helps tenderize and infuse flavor.
  • Season Generously: Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper before cooking to enhance its natural flavors.
  • Use a Heavy-Duty Foil: Opt for heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent tearing and ensure the steak cooks evenly.
  • Seal the Foil Packet Properly: Make sure to seal the foil packet tightly to prevent any moisture or steam from escaping during cooking.
  • Cook Over Medium-High Heat: Preheat your oven or grill to a high temperature to sear the steak and lock in its juices.
  • Monitor the Cooking Time: Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and the desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking.
  • Let the Steak Rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
