Description
Delicious Loaded Steak Potato Recipe for Meat Lovers
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak (or flank steak/skirt steak)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (or pepper jack/mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup crispy bacon bits (or turkey bacon)
- 1/4 cup jalapeños
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, steak seasoning blend
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Prick them all over with a fork to allow steam to escape. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place them directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and a fork easily pierces the flesh.
- While the potatoes are baking, season your steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- While the steak rests, chop the green onions and any other toppings you plan to use. If you’re using bacon, cook it until crispy and crumble it.
- Once the potatoes are done, carefully slice them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork. Top each potato with shredded cheese, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat. Next, slice the rested steak and pile it atop the cheesy potatoes. Add your desired toppings: sour cream, green onions, bacon, and jalapeños.
- Serve the Loaded Steak Potatoes hot, and enjoy your hearty meal!
