🥩 Tender Foil-Wrapped Beef Dinner (4 Ingredients)
đź›’ Ingredients
500–700 g beef (chuck roast, stew meat, or steak pieces)
3–4 potatoes, sliced
2–3 carrots, sliced
1 packet onion soup mix (or 1 tbsp onion powder + salt + pepper)
👨‍🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F).
Prepare foil:
Tear a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (or double layer it).
Lightly grease it (optional).
Layer everything:
Place sliced potatoes and carrots on the foil.
Put the beef on top.
Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over everything.
Seal tightly:
Wrap the foil into a sealed packet (very important—this locks in moisture).
No gaps—steam is what makes it tender.
Bake slow & low:
Place on a baking tray.
Bake for 3 to 4 hours.
Serve:
Carefully open (hot steam inside!).
Everything should be fall-apart tender and juicy.
🔥 Uncle’s Tips (the secret part)
Don’t rush it—low and slow = tender meat
Keep it sealed tight the whole time
You can add a small knob of butter for extra richness (optional)
