Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the steak in the center of a large piece of aluminum foil and sprinkle with the onion soup mix and steak sauce.
- Cover the steak with the vegetables and dot with oleo.
- Sprinkle with salt.
- Fold the foil over the steak and vegetable mixture and seal securely.
- Place in a baking pan and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chuck steak in the steak sauce overnight. If you don't have oleo, unsalted butter or olive oil can be used as a substitute. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra taste. To cut down on cooking time, you can also pre-cook the potatoes and carrots before adding them to the foil packet.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Chuck Steak Supper directly from the foil for a rustic presentation. This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh garden salad or steamed green beans. For a heartier meal, consider serving with crusty bread to soak up the juices. It also complements well with mashed potatoes if you prefer a side dish instead of whole potatoes.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Chuck Steak Supper can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the foil packet in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for about 2-3 minutes on high, ensuring to cover them to retain moisture.
