Ingredients
Baked Potatoes
4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and dried
4 tablespoons olive oil
1.5 tablespoons sea salt
Steak Bites
2 pounds boneless steak (NY strip, ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons low sodium Cajun seasoning
4 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
2 wedges lemon, juiced
Garlic Butter
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons garlic, minced (about 8 to 10 cloves)
Parmesan Cream Sauce
1.5 cups heavy cream
2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 2.4 ounces)
0.5 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking tray with parchment. Rub potatoes with olive oil and sea salt. Bake 50–60 minutes, or until fork tender.
Trim steak, cut into 2-inch pieces. Toss with 2 tbsp avocado oil and Cajun seasoning.
Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high. Sear steak for 2 minutes, flip, cook 1 minute, then reduce heat and cook 1 more minute.
Push steak aside, add 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp garlic. Sauté until aromatic. Toss steak in garlic butter for 1 more minute. Transfer to bowl and cover with foil.
In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp garlic. Sauté, then whisk in cream. Simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in red pepper flakes, parmesan, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and parsley.
Drop baked potatoes onto tray from 12 inches to loosen interior. Slice open and fluff with a fork. Add butter, top with steak, drizzle with parmesan cream sauce. Serve hot.
Notes
Tent steak bites with foil to lock in juices while resting.
Use freshly grated parmesan for a smoother, meltier sauce.
Fluffing potatoes post-bake ensures extra softness and better absorption of toppings.
