Ingredients

1 pound small red potatoes, cut into fourths

2 carrots, sliced

1 can sliced mushrooms

1 red bell pepper, cubed

1 green bell pepper, cubed

½ red onion, cut into cubes

salt and pepper

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1½ pound top sirloin steak, cut into one inch cubes, raw*

Garlic Herb Butter

Ingredients

½ cup butter, room temperature

¼ cup freshly chopped parsley

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a medium sized bowl add the red potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms and red onion. Add salt and pepper and toss with olive oil. Place four 18x12-inch pieces of heavy aluminum foil on counter. Evenly place vegetable mixture on each piece of foil. Top vegetables with steak. To make the garlic herb butter: In a small bowl add the butter, parsley, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Divide evenly and place on top of the steak. Double fold top and ends of each piece of foil, leaving space for steam to gather. Place packets on the grill and cover. Grill 20-30 minutes, turning over halfway through or until steak is cooked through and veggies are tender. Carefully open packets and serve. (if you want to cook these inside, bake in your oven at 400 degrees F, for about 1 hour)
