Ingredients:
2 large russet potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the steak bites:
200–250 g steak (ribeye or sirloin), cut into bite-sized cubes
Salt and black pepper
1 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
Toppings:
1 cup shredded cheddar or mixed cheese
3–4 strips beef bacon or turkey bacon, cooked and chopped
Sour cream
Chopped green onions or chives
Instructions:
Bake the Potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and dry the potatoes, rub them with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt.
Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and the inside is tender.
Cook the Steak Bites:
Season the steak cubes with salt and black pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add butter, and sear the steak bites for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking.
Add garlic in the last 30 seconds if using. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Potato:
Carefully slice each baked potato lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork.
Assemble:
Fill the potato with shredded cheese and let it melt from the heat.
Top with steak bites and crispy bacon.
Finish & Serve:
Add a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with green onions or chives.
Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Tip:
For extra richness, add a little butter or a drizzle of cheese sauce before topping with steak.
