A hearty dish featuring creamy baked potatoes topped with juicy steak bites and a rich Parmesan cream sauce. Perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and patted dry
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons sea salt for the potato skins
- 2 lbs steak (NY strip, ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced (about 8–10 cloves)
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasonings
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 2/3 cup Parmesan, grated
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 2 wedges lemon, juice of
- 0.5–1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the skins. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender.
- While the potatoes are baking, cut your steak into bite-sized cubes. In a bowl, season the steak with kosher salt, minced garlic, and Cajun seasonings.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the heavy cream. Stir in the grated Parmesan and butter, mixing until smooth.
- Season with lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Once the potatoes are done, take them out of the oven. Slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork.
- Pour the creamy Parmesan sauce over the potatoes, then top with the steak bites. Finish with minced parsley for a fresh touch.
Notes
For added creaminess, mix some sour cream with the cheese sauce. Adjust Cajun seasoning based on taste preference.
