Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 8 oz sirloin or ribeye steak
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chives or green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes, poke holes in them with a fork, rub with olive oil, season with salt, and bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until tender.
- While the potatoes bake, cut the steak into bite-sized pieces. In a hot skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat, sear the steak bites for about 3-5 minutes until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once cooked, set aside the steak and prepare toppings: shred cheddar cheese and chop chives or green onions.
- When potatoes are ready, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides. Load each potato with seared steak bites, shredded cheddar cheese (allowing it to melt), sour cream, and chives.
