Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and cook on high until tender but still firm, about 3 minutes.

Divide the steak, potatoes, onions, red and green bell peppers, and carrots evenly among 4 to 6 squares of aluminum foil. Add butter and a little fresh garlic to each packet, then fold the foil over the top to close each packet tightly.

Place the foil packets on the hot side of the grill. Cook for 5 minutes. Carefully open one packet to check the steak for doneness.

If the steak is not cooked to your liking after 5 minutes, continue cooking and check for doneness every few minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center will read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
