I found this recipe while searching for a method to use up some frozen turnip greens that I had in my freezer and when I was in dire need of some dip. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of turnips, but this recipe is so unbelievably delicious, I even like it better than spinach dip. Due to a pork allergy, I prepare this recipe with beef soujouk (beef sausage) from the Middle Eastern goods market instead of bacon, but it tastes delicious any way.

Ingredients
- 4 (4 ounce) cube steaks
- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 teaspoons margarine
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Lay out 4 squares of aluminum foil. Place one cube steak onto each piece of foil. Spread margarine over the steaks, and season with salt and pepper. Layer one sliced potato over each steak, and a few rings of onion. Season again with salt and pepper if you like. Fold the foil around the food, and seal into a packet. Place packets onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the beef is no longer pink, and the potatoes are tender. Open carefully, as hot steam will be released.

The potatoes were fantastic, however the steak was dry.
Pretty basic, but it gets the job done. I liked how easy it was with almost no cleanup.
made this as recipe called for but baked it slowly over hot coals in our firepit. it was good with a smoky flavor and cooking it indirectly made it tasty and tender.
/worst recipe ever! Bland and tasteless. Picture shows cheese bur recipe doesn’t call for any. IF I make it again it will be nothing like the recipe!
I added a few things, some orange pepper I had on hand, some garlic salt, extra butter on top of potatoes, small slices of zuccinni, but basically left the recipe as is, and it was GREAT! Luckily we have 2 packets leftover—-looking forward to them tomorrow. And will definitely do cube steaks this way again and again. Many thanks.
I did increase the seasonings as recommended in other reviews but it still fell a little short. Don’t be afraid to liberally season. I also added some chopped baby carrots and baked for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Gave it a beef stew feel. Will make it again. It’s a quick and easy dinner.
So good and so easy! The only change I made was using butter and a spicy pepper mix instead of plain salt and pepper.
My take: Seasoned one side of meat with chili powder, onion powder, and Montreal Steak. Spread butter on the other side, topped with layers, sliced tomatoe, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, bell peppers and sprinkled with garlic pepper. Wrapped in foil and grilled over charcoal. Tasty and tender enough to cut with a fork.
Excellent and easy to make. I added a little diced red onion and shredded carrot as suggested by another reviewer for added color, texture and taste. I also made a half recipe instead of an entire recipe. I will be making it again, particularly while cucumbers are in season.
We always made these when we went camping. We would add carrots and some mozzarella cheese and season salt. Cooking them on the campfire made them taste awesome.
Needed longer cooking time for me. I used red potatoes and they took an hour and a half to get soft. The steak was also red with only 45 minutes. It needed more spices. My boys liked it when it was finally cooked and I will make it again with modifications.
Took way to long to cook! Meat was tough!
We call these Hobo Dinners, and they’re perfect to throw in the firepit on a camping trip!
A little bit of chopped carrot in each packet adds character and a slightly different flavor.
I dislike cube steak, however this recipe made me think I could give it one more chance. It did not disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised and will most definitely be making it again. I used the butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Added potatoes and carrots with the onions. It does call for a punch of something, so next time I will use Lawrys salt and some worcestire sauce.
I made this last night and it is great and easy!! I added a lot of diffrent spices and also added sliced peppers and it was perfect. Not dry and tough like chop steak is normally. Thanks from my family to yours!!!
This was a nice recipe that makes a lot of sense. I added spices like other reviewers suggested. However, the meat was very tough. Next time I try, I’m going do everything the same except then put the foils in the slow cooker and see how that turns out.
No taste. Potatoes didn’t get done.
My daughter and I really liked this. I did marinade my steak for a few hours before cooking and added a little of the marinade to the packet – over the potatoes. I also added a bit of minced garlic in there as well. Since I had marinated the steak, I just put a little butter on top of the potatoes. It was very tasty! We will definately have this again! Thanks!!
This is a good basic recipe idea for a simple and quick meal. The cooking time was a little off, I had to cook mine for about an hour, but the cube steak came out tender and so did the vegetables. I followed other reviewers advice and added Worcestershire sauce, but it was still a little bland. Next time I think I will add some garlic and maybe some Mrs. Dash to give it more flavors. Bottom line, I will definitely make is again.
We really like this recipe. Used pork cubed steaks and lots of seasoning. came out delicious. I always make extras for hubbys lunch and he says it’s even better next day. This works well on the grill or in the oven. Thanks for sharing!
