As a park ranger, I’ve cooked a lot of meals outdoors. I often assemble a steak and potato foil pack and toss it into my backpack with some ice. Then when I set up camp, it’s easy to cook over a campfire. If I’m at home, I use my grill, and the food is just as good. \u2014Ralph Jones, San Diego,

If it\u2019s a rainy day, or you simply don\u2019t want to fire up the grill, you can opt for the oven. Bake the steak and potato foil packs in a 400\u00b0F oven for 20-25 minutes.
Can you cook the steak medium-rare in the foil packs?<\/h3>Although it\u2019s harder to monitor the steak as it cooks because it\u2019s wrapped up in foil, you can still cook it medium-rare when you\u2019re making this steak and potato foil pack recipe<\/a>. Cut the steaks in half and prepare them in 4 foil packs instead of 8. The bigger pieces will result in meat that's more rare.
