Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium russet potatoes (about 10–12 oz each)
- 8 oz ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for potatoes)
- 1 tsp salt (for potatoes)
- 1 tsp pepper (for steak)
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water and dry them thoroughly.
- 2. Prick each potato several times with a fork, rub them with olive oil, and season generously with salt. Place directly on the oven rack.
- 3. Bake for 45-60 minutes until tender when pierced.
- 4. While potatoes bake, season the steak with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet, sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare; adjust time for desired doneness.
- 5. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
- 6. Once baked, cut a slit down each potato and fluff the insides. Top each potato with sliced steak, cheddar cheese, and return to the oven until cheese melts.
- 7. Finish with sour cream and chives before serving.
