Over one large piece ( at least 12 inches on each side) of heavy tinfoil, layer the ingredients as follows: potatoes, carrots, onions, celery. Salt and Pepper to taste. Top with Steak and 1 T butter per tin foil dinner.



To prepare the foil pouch, grab the two opposite ends together and fold to make a ½ inch seem. Continue folding the seam until the foil is right up against the food.
