Foil Packet Pot Roast
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Beef tenderloin, cut into chunks – about 6 oz per person
- Baby potatoes, halved – 2 per person
- Baby carrots – a handful per person
- Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley work well)
- Butter, sliced into small pats
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for drizzling
Directions:
Prep Your Ingredients
Start by prepping all your ingredients at the campsite. Cut the beef tenderloin into bite-sized chunks – or leave it in a larger piece if you prefer! Halve the baby potatoes, and wash the baby carrots. Tear off large sheets of foil for each serving, making sure there’s enough to wrap everything securely.
Assemble the Foil Packets
Lay out each foil sheet and place a portion of beef tenderloin chunks in the center. Surround the beef with a handful of halved baby potatoes and a few baby carrots. Add a couple of pats of butter on top to keep everything moist and flavorful. Sprinkle on fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
Seal the Packets
Fold up the sides of each foil sheet, making sure they’re tightly sealed to keep in all the juices. The packets should be compact and secure, but leave a little room inside for the steam to circulate.
Cook Over the Campfire
Place the foil packets directly on the hot campfire coals. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping the packets halfway through to ensure even cooking. The beef should be tender, and the veggies will be perfectly roasted by the time they’re done. Add another small pat of butter once you open it back up for a last minute splash of melty flavor.
