Notes

Campground Tips
  • Slice the steak and vegetables at home to save prep time at camp.
  • Freeze the steak overnight before your trip for easier slicing.
  • Serve with kettle chips or a simple pasta salad.
    The steak will be much easier to slice thinly if you place it in the freezer for 30 min before slicing.

Campground Cooking Note

If using instant rice, reduce the broth by about ½ cup and cook according to the rice package directions. If using a portable camp stove that runs hot, stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
