4-Ingredient Oven-Baked Beef Steak and Onion Foil Bake
Ingredients
- Beef steak (sirloin, round, or chuck) – 1½ to 2 pounds
- Large onions, thinly sliced – 2
- Olive oil or melted butter – 3 tablespoons
- Salt and black pepper – 1½ teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper
Step-by-Step Directions
- Preheat and prep foil – Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Season the onions – Place the sliced onions in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil (or melted butter), and sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the onions are evenly coated.
- Season the steak – Cut the steak into 4 equal portions, pat them dry with paper towels, and season all sides with the remaining salt and pepper.
- Assemble the packets – Divide the seasoned onions among the centers of the foil sheets, arranging them into a bed for the steak. Place one steak portion on top of each onion mound.
- Seal tightly – Fold the long sides of the foil together over the steak and crimp them down firmly, then roll up the ends to completely seal each packet, locking in the steam.
- Bake – Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes for medium doneness. For well-done or tougher cuts, extend the baking time as needed.
- Rest and serve – Let the packets rest for about 5 minutes. Carefully open the foil, spoon the soft onions and pan juices over the steaks, and serve warm.
