❤️ Love-Worthy Steak and Potatoes
It’s one of those dishes that’ll make someone just fall in love with you. My husband is still talking about them and asked me to make this for his birthday dinner. I really believe this is one of those “manly” dishes that just make men go crazy!
Stick-to-your-ribs hearty dinner that’s full of incredible flavor. These steak-filled loaded baked potatoes are the kind of meal that just warms your heart and fills your tummy after a long, hard week at work. It’s elevated enough to make for guests and it would be so perfect for a holiday dinner or Valentine’s Day.
Key Ingredients
You’ll love how simple this list of ingredients is for these loaded baked potatoes stuffed with garlic butter steak bites. Be sure to check the recipe card for measurements.
- Large russet potatoes – scrubbed clean and patted dry
- Steak – choose your favorite cut. Costco carries great steaks at affordable prices. Sirloin, NY Strip, Ribeye or Filet – whatever your preference and budget.
- Garlic – freshly minced is always recommended for optimum flavor
- Butter – a staple for cream sauce and buttery baked potatoes.
- Seasonings – cajun seasonings, red pepper flakes, kosher salt (or sea salt) and freshly cracked pepper.
- Heavy Cream – the base for the parmesan cream sauce.
- Parmesan – grated parmesan works great for incorporating into the sauce.
- Lemon – fresh lemon juice adds a burst of tangy vibrance to the cream sauce.
- Parsley – fresh minced parsley is added to the sauce.
- Avocado & Olive oil – this has a higher smoke point than olive oil allowing you to cook the steak at a high heat without smoke. We’ll use the olive oil for the baked potatoes.
How to Make Loaded Baked Potato with Steak
Bake the Steakhouse Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Rub potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle all sides with sea salt and place on the prepared pan. Do not poke any holes in them. Bake about 50-60 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes bake, cook the steak
Trim the steak of any excess fat or silver skin. Cut into 2″ pieces. Drizzle the steak bites in avocado oil, it has a higher smoke point than olive oil. Liberally coat steak in cajun seasoning. In a cast iron skillet (or regular skillet) add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil over medium-high heat.
Cook them undisturbed about 2 minutes, or until they have a good golden coloring. Flip just once. Continue to cook 1 minute, then reduce heat to low and cook another minute. Scoot steak to one side of the pan. Add in 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon minced garlic, saute until fragrant. Toss the steak in the garlic butter, tossing to coat on all sides, cooking another minute. Remove steak and place in a bowl, tented with foil to keep moist.
Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce
In the same pan with residual butter and garlic, add two more 2 tablespoons of butter and remaining 1 tablespoon garlic. Saute until fragrant. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce for 3-5 minutes. Add in red pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese. Whisk until the sauce thickens and taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Off the heat, add the parsley and juice of two lemon wedges.
Finish & Assemble
Lift and drop each potato from about 12″ off the pan. Give them a good wack to loosen up the inside to make them fluffy. Cut the potatoes down the center. Add in a little butter and press the potatoes down to make some room to fill them with steak. Spoon in the steak, dividing the amount equally among the four potatoes. Drizzle over parmesan cream sauce over the top of each potato and serve!
