Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes (approximately 300g each)
- 8 oz sirloin or ribeye steak
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Your favorite seasoning blend (e.g., garlic powder, smoked paprika)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Clean and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly.
- Poke several holes in each potato using a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Rub olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle generously with salt.
- Bake directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for about 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
- While potatoes bake, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cut steak into bite-sized pieces; season with salt, pepper, and spices.
- Sear steak bites in the skillet for about 4-6 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking; set aside to rest.
- Once baked potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them open lengthwise without cutting through completely. Fluff the insides with a fork.
- Load each potato with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, then top with steak bites and garnish with green onions.
