Our son recently celebrated a birthday. I can’t believe he is 6 already. Man time passes too fast.
We decided to celebrate as a family. Celebrating as a family doesn’t mean we don’t decorate and do it big! We do!!!
He’s a big eater and one of his favorite meals is Meat and Potatoes. Simple enough.
I decided to do a simple Steak and Potato Foil Pack. This is not a recipe per say but I will share some step by step details.
Let me start with my recap of the day first then I will share the deeds on the dish.
My husband and I setup his backdrop for his birthday picture while he was playing upstairs with his sister. She helped us distract him and keep it a secret.
Every birthday celebration starts with a nice outfit. I was able to put together a Minecraft outfit for our little man.
He came down and loved his backdrop with balloons. He was so grateful and thankful for everything.
He is all about Minecraft right now. Here are the details on his outfit.
The outfit consisted of a Minecraft button down shirt, a hat, socks and fashion pants. He was so excited. I was able to find everything for his outfit on amazon. So cute.
Shop the outfit and backdrop below.
Little man loves Minecraft. He wanted all things Minecraft for his birthday outfit. #Minecraft #BirthdayParty #Birthdaydecor #Kids

He is such a fashion guy. I have a lot of fun dressing him.
Now for the party decorations.
Minecraft Party Decorations, we kept it very simple this year. I have to say that Minecraft decorations were hard to find.
I couldn’t find a centerpiece, so we made the pinata the centerpiece. He was hoping it was filled with candy.

Now for the main dish, the Steak and Potato Foil Pack.
Baby boy loves Steak and Potatoes. This year, I decided to do the Beef Steak meat foil pack.
I wanted an easy meal that I wouldn’t have to stay over the stove the whole time. The dish was prepared in a foil pack in the oven. So easy.
Here are a few simple items that you will need:
- Olive Oil
- Boneless Beef Stew Meat or boneless meat of choice
- Slap Ya Mama seasoning
- Petite Fingerling Potatoes
- Smoked Paprika
- Onions
- Roasting Herb Blend Pack
- Reynolds Wrap
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- KC Masterpiece Classic Steakhouse Marinade
- Chicken stock or water
The directions are really easy:
- Season the beef meat with Slap Ya Mama, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Smoked Paprika.
- Marinade the beef with KC Masterpiece Classic Steakhouse.
- Cover with Reynolds Wrap.
- Marinade in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Rinse potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes in half. Set aside.
- Slice 1/2 of onion into Julienne Pieces.
- Tear 4 big pieces of Reynolds Wrap.
- Add Potatoes to the 4 Reynolds Wrap.
- Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil.
- Season the potatoes with Slap Ya Mama.
- Add roasting herbs to each.
- Season the potatoes with Smoked Paprika.
- Add onions to each.
- Add desired amount of marinade steak. I added 4 – 6 pieces.
- Add more of the marinade on top.
- Add a few big splashes of Chicken stock or water.
- Seal the packets tight to allow to cook.
- Bake in the oven for 60 -70 minutes depending on the amount of items.
- Check halfway through to check tenderness.
- Remove from oven.
- Open carefully. Finish with fresh herbs.
- Serve in foil or pour in a plate.
- Enjoy.
For dessert we didn’t have a traditional cake. My son isn’t a big cake person, so we opted out of a big custom cake and served a simple ice cream bar with a variety of ice cream options.
I bought him a personal size cake that was shaped like an ice cream cone.
He loves ice cream, so this was perfect for him and he loved it.
A sweet finish for his birthday. He loved his gifts. You can shop some of his gifts on the @LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app.
