Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions or chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the potatoes clean, poke holes with a fork, rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until tender inside and crispy on the outside.
- While potatoes bake, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and the steak cubes.
- Season steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Add butter to the pan and toss the steak in the melted butter for extra flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once potatoes are cooked, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, steak pieces, bacon bits, and a dollop of sour cream.
- Garnish with chopped green onions or chives and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use mashed potatoes or baked potato halves for serving.
- For extra creaminess, drizzle with cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese.
- Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
- Pair with a side salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
