    Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packets

    These Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packets are an easy family dinner recipe for summer. They turn out so delicious with plenty of buttery and garlicky flavor.

    Cook them on the grill/campfire or in the oven for a simple dinner at home or on the road!

    Ingredients

    • 2 pounds lean sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 2-inch chunks
    • 1 pound baby yellow potatoes, quartered or halved to your liking
    • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (adjust to taste)
    • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (alternatively, a mix of dried oregano, thyme, and parsley)
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

    How To Make Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packets

    If you’re planning to bake these delectable foil packets in the oven, preheat it to 425°F (220°C) to ensure even cooking.

    Mix & Marinate: In a generously-sized mixing bowl, combine the lean sirloin steak chunks, baby yellow potatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, olive oil, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Gently toss the ingredients until they are well-coated with the flavorful seasonings.

    Packet Prep: Divide the steak and potato mixture evenly among four 12×12 inch aluminum foil sheets. Carefully seal the contents to create neat and secure foil packets. This ensures that the flavors are trapped inside and intensify during the cooking process.

    Cooking Options:

    • Grilling: If you’re using a grill, place the foil packets over high heat for approximately 10 minutes on each side. Keep a close watch to achieve your preferred level of doneness for both the steak and potatoes.
    • Oven: If you’re opting for baking, position the foil packets on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Allow them to bake for about 20 minutes or until the steak and potatoes reach the desired level of tenderness.

    Serve with Style: Once your foil packets are cooked to perfection, carefully open them (watch out for the steam!). For an extra zesty touch, garnish with fresh parsley. You can serve the dish directly from the foil or plate it up for a visually appealing presentation.

    • Fiber: 1 g

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Prepare the Pastry Dough

    Start by preparing the pastry, which forms the delicious base and lattice topping of our tart. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with sugar and the grated lemon zest. Beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. The lemon zest infuses the dough with a delicate citrus aroma that will complement the filling beautifully.

    Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The eggs should be fully incorporated, giving the dough a smooth and consistent texture.

    In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring gently to combine. As the dough comes together, you’ll notice it becoming soft yet pliable—perfect for rolling out.

    Divide the dough into two portions, with one slightly larger than the other. This larger piece will form the base of your tart, while the smaller piece will be used for the lattice. Wrap each portion in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the dough helps it firm up, making it easier to roll out later.

    2. Prepare the Lemon Cream Filling

    While the dough chills, you can move on to making the lemon cream filling. Begin by heating the latte macchiato (or milk) in a saucepan over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. The warm milk provides a rich, creamy base for the filling.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolkssugarcornstarch, and flour until the mixture is smooth. The cornstarch and flour act as thickeners, ensuring the filling sets properly.

    Slowly pour the warm latte macchiato into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Once combined, pour the mixture back into the saucepan.

    Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens to a custard-like consistency. This process can take several minutes, so patience is key. Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and lemon juice. The butter adds richness, while the lemon juice brings a refreshing tartness. Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling the tart.

    3. Assemble the Tart

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take the larger portion of dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface. The dough should be large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a 25-27 cm (10-11 inch) tart pan. Press the dough gently into the pan, trimming any excess dough that hangs over the edges.

    Next, pour the prepared lemon cream filling into the pastry-lined tart pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, ensuring that it reaches all the edges.

    Now, take the smaller portion of dough and roll it out. Cut it into strips about 1-2 cm (1/2 inch) wide. Arrange the strips over the lemon filling in a crisscross pattern to create a lattice. Press the edges of the strips gently into the crust to seal them.

    4. Bake the Tart

    Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The tart should be firm to the touch, with a slight jiggle in the center indicating a perfectly set cream.

    5. Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, allow the tart to cool completely before removing it from the tart pan. This cooling period helps the filling to fully set and makes slicing easier.

    For a finishing touch, dust the top of the tart with powdered sugar. You can also garnish it with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for added color and a burst of freshness.

    Enjoy

    Slice the tart into even pieces and serve. This Lemon Lattice Tart is a refreshing dessert that pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. Its combination of buttery pastry and tangy lemon cream is sure to delight your taste buds, making it a perfect choice for any gathering or special occasion.

    Tips for Perfect Results

    • Chill the Dough: Don’t skip the chilling step for the dough. It makes rolling out easier and helps the crust maintain its shape during baking.
    • Avoid Overcooking the Filling: When cooking the lemon cream filling, keep a close eye on it. Overcooking can cause it to curdle. Stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as it thickens.
    • Serving Suggestions: This tart is delicious on its own, but you can elevate it by serving with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    This Lemon Lattice Tart combines the tangy brightness of lemon with a rich, creamy filling and a tender, buttery crust. Its elegant presentation and delightful flavor make it an ideal dessert for both everyday indulgence and special occasions.

    PREP: 3minutes mins
    TOTAL: 3minutes mins
    SERVINGS: 2 servings

    Ingredients

    • 2 fresh mangoes, peeled and diced, or 2 cups of frozen mango chunks
    • 1 small frozen banana (or half of a large banana); if using frozen mango, you can use an unfrozen banana
    • ½ cup of milk, whether dairy or dairy-free
    • ½ cup of yogurt, whether dairy or dairy-free

    instructions to make the mango smoothie:

    1. Peel and dice the fresh mangoes if using fresh mangoes. If using frozen mangoes, no need to peel them as they are already prepped.
    2. If your banana is not frozen, peel it and slice it into chunks.
    3. In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, frozen banana chunks, milk (dairy or dairy-free), and yogurt (dairy or dairy-free).
    4. Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
    5. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to reach your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, you can add more mango or ice cubes.
    6. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or flavorings if necessary. You can add a sweetener like honey or sugar if desired.
    7. Once blended to your liking, pour the mango smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, you can garnish with a slice of mango or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flair.
    8. Enjoy your refreshing mango smoothie!

    How many mangoes are needed to yield one cup?

    The number of mangoes needed to make one cup can vary depending on the size of the mangoes and how they are cut. On average, it takes about 1 to 1.5 medium-sized mangoes to yield one cup of chopped mango chunks. If the mangoes are larger, you may need fewer, and if they are smaller, you may need more.

    Is it possible to prepare this mango smoothie as a vegan or dairy-free option?

    Yes, you can easily make a vegan or dairy-free mango smoothie by using non-dairy milk alternatives such as almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk instead of regular dairy milk or yogurt. Simply substitute the dairy milk or yogurt with your preferred non-dairy alternative in the same quantity. This allows you to enjoy a delicious mango smoothie while adhering to a vegan or dairy-free diet

    Should you opt for fresh mango or frozen mango?

    As an advocate of seasonal eating, I lean towards using fresh mangoes when they’re in season for this smoothie recipe. You can either cube the mango or effortlessly scoop it out with a glass, making the process simple.
    If fresh mango is your choice, ensure you incorporate a frozen banana into the recipe to maintain the smoothie’s desired thickness and chill.
    However, if fresh mangoes aren’t accessible or in season, frozen mango is a perfect alternative. When using frozen mango, you can pair it with a fresh banana. The key is to have at least one of the fruits frozen to achieve the desired consistency
