Ingredients

• 4 pieces Venison steaks
• 12 pieces Baby potatoes
• 3 pieces Carrots
• 1 large Red onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C).

Step 2

Slice the baby potatoes in half and cut the carrots into thin sticks. Thinly slice the red onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Lay out four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil. If using regular foil, double-layer it to prevent tearing during grilling.

Step 4

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the center of each foil sheet.

Step 5

Place one venison steak on each foil sheet. Surround each steak with equal portions of potatoes, carrots, and red onion slices.

Step 6

Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the vegetables and venison. Add a sprig of rosemary to each packet.

Step 7

Season everything with salt, black pepper, and paprika for added flavor.

Step 8

To each packet, add a half-tablespoon of butter, placing it on top of the venison steak for added richness.

Step 9

Fold the foil around the venison and vegetables to create a tightly sealed packet. Make sure there are no gaps for steam to escape.

Step 10

Place the foil packets on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook the packets for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Step 11

Carefully remove the packets from the grill. Allow them to rest for a few minutes before carefully opening the foil to release the steam.

Step 12

Serve the grilled venison packets directly from the foil for a rustic presentation, or plate the contents with your preferred side dishes. Enjoy!
