Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Fork
  • Cast iron skillet or heavy pan
  • Tongs
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Oven mitts

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large Russet potatoes (about 10 oz / 280 g each)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tsp coarse salt (kosher or sea salt)
  • 1 lb (450 g) sirloin or ribeye steak, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil (for steak)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (240 g) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (115 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onions
  • Optional: crispy bacon bits or hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub potatoes, prick with fork, rub with olive oil and coarse salt, and bake on a sheet for 50–60 minutes until soft.
  • Cut steak into 1-inch cubes. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until coated.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Sear steak bites in a single layer for 4–5 minutes, turning halfway, until browned on all sides.
  • Remove steak from pan and let rest 5 minutes to keep juicy.
  • Slice baked potatoes lengthwise without cutting through. Pinch ends to open and fluff insides with a fork.
  • Fill each potato with butter, sour cream, cheddar, and steak bites. Garnish with extra sour cream, cheese, and chives. Serve hot.

Notes

Use ribeye for the most tender steak bites, but sirloin or flank steak also work well. Prep the steak up to 4 hours ahead. For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. Avoid freezing the finished dish for best texture.
