Hey neighbors, Nicole here with your top-of-the-hour recipe Steak and Potato Packets - on the grill! (serves 8)
Ingredients
4lb steaks, cubed (ribeye, sirloin, or flat iron is best)
olive oil as needed
2 small onions sliced
4 large russet potatoes diced (I prefer Yukon/gold)
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 sticks of salted butter
salt and pepper to taste
(optional) your favorite steak seasoning

Directions
preheat your grill to medium-high heat
Tear off 8 large square sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, drizzle each with olive oil, put 1 tablespoon of butter on each foil sheet, add potatoes evenly divided between foil sheets, sprinkle minced garlic and diced onion over the potatoes, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the mix and put the steak pieces on top. Season with steak seasoning and/or salt and pepper to taste, top with a little more olive oil and a pat of butter (to keep your steak from drying out you can put a small ice cube on top of it in the packet, I'm lazy so I don't do this, the butter and olive oil seem to do the trick). Fold each up into a little packet that keeps the butter and oil inside the packets while cooking. Grill packets for 35-45 minutes on medium-high (should* depending on the cut of steak you used to leave the steak medium-well). Check those bad boys periodically if you're like me and want my steak medium-rare, you might need to pull them earlier/later if you prefer more done. Make sure the potatoes are tender and serve!

Let us know if you give this a try and what you thought - and share any tips?

NOTICE: Chip sealing will begin Monday ⚠️
The streets and days are listed below but may be altered by as much as half a day behind or ahead of schedule, depending on time, weather and availability of oil. We request you not park any vehicles on the street 24 hours prior to chip sealing so crews can thoroughly sweep and wash the streets. Please make sure that your automatic sprinklers are turned off on that day so that excess water does not run into the street.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call 970.824.4463

Chip seal information is also available on our website: https://ci.craig.co.us/news_detail_T33_R330.php
