A hearty and easy campfire recipe featuring thinly sliced ribeye steak, caramelized onions, peppers, and melted provolone cheese, all cooked in foil packets for a delicious and fuss-free outdoor meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 hoagie rolls or sturdy sandwich rolls
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for spreading on rolls)

Instructions

  1. Slice the ribeye steak as thin as possible, about 1/8 inch thick. Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin strips. Preheat your campfire to medium heat with hot coals ready.
  2. In a skillet or cast iron pan over the campfire or grill, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add sliced onions and peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the steak slices, sprinkle garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce, and cook until just browned, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep steak juicy.
  4. Tear off 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil (about 12×12 inches). Divide the steak and veggie mixture evenly among them. Place 1-2 slices of provolone on top of each pile. Fold the foil into packets, sealing tightly.
  5. Place the foil packets on hot coals or grill grate. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cheese is melted and steak is tender. Use tongs and gloves to handle hot packets.
  6. While packets cook, slice hoagie rolls without cutting all the way through. Optionally, spread butter inside and toast lightly over fire or grill for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Carefully open each foil packet and spoon the steak, veggies, and melted cheese into the prepared rolls. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

If steak seems dry, add a teaspoon of water or broth before sealing packets. Control heat by moving packets to cooler parts of coals if needed. Toast rolls with butter to prevent sogginess. Can bake in oven at 400°F for 20 minutes if no campfire is available.
