How To Make Blue Cheese Steak Foil Packets
Step 1: Prepare the Foil
Tear off large sheets of aluminum foil (one per steak). Lightly grease or spray them to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Season the Steaks
Generously season both sides of each steak with steak seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Add the Blue Cheese
Place each steak in the center of a foil sheet and top with blue cheese crumbles.
Step 4: Seal the Packets
Fold the foil over the steak and seal the edges tightly to lock in juices and flavor.
Step 5: Slow Cook
Place the foil packets into the slow cooker and cook:
- LOW: 6–7 hours
- HIGH: 3–4 hours
Step 6: Serve
Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam). Spoon the melted blue cheese and juices over the steak before serving.
