  4. Cut your steak into chunks and marinate it if you want to (optional).
  5. Now put the meat, potatoes, onion, oil, garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and toss.
  6. Make 4 large foil squares and divide the steak and potatoes between them.
  7. Add chopped pieces of butter on top and then fold the foil over the filling and press to seal well.
