Ingredients
- 2 pounds chuck roast trimmed and cut into large bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt plus extra
- 1 pound carrots peeled and cut into large chunks
- 2 large white onions quartered
- 8 small red potatoes halved or quartered if large
- 12 grape tomatoes
- 2 ears corn each cut into quarters (8 total pieces)
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter divided
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over high heat. Lightly season the beef with 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt. When the skillet is hot, quickly sear the beef on all sides, just enough to brown the exterior. Do not cook through. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Cut four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 12x18 inches. For extra security, you can cut additional aluminum foil and double wrap each packet.
- In the center of each foil sheet, layer the following: A quarter of the seared beef, a quarter of the carrots, 2 onion quarters, 2 small red potatoes, 3 grape tomatoes, 2 pieces of corn, 2 tablespoons of butter, and a generous sprinkle of seasoned salt.
- Fold the foil around the ingredients and seal tightly to create a pouch. Be sure all the edges are securely folded to trap steam during cooking.
- To cook on a campfire or grill, place the packets on hot coals or a preheated grill for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and the beef is fully cooked. To cook in the oven, place the packets on a sheet pan and bake at 400°F for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Let the packets rest for 5 minutes before opening. Use caution when unwrapping, as the steam will be hot!
