Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Rub the cleaned and dried russet potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle all sides with sea salt. Place the potatoes on the baking pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Steak Cooking
- While the potatoes bake, trim any excess fat from the steak and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and coat with Cajun seasoning.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak bites undisturbed for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another minute. Reduce the heat to low and cook for one more minute.
- Move the steak to one side of the pan and add 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then toss the steak in the garlic butter.
Cream Sauce Preparation
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then whisk in the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Finish by adding fresh parsley and lemon juice.
Final Assembly
- Lightly drop each baked potato to loosen the interior, then cut a slit down the center and fluff with a fork. Spread softened butter inside each potato.
- Divide cooked steak bites among the potatoes and spoon the creamy parmesan sauce over the top. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
Make sure to choose a good cut of steak for the best flavor and tenderness. For extra flavor, try marinating the steak for a few hours before cooking. Experiment with different seasonings in the cream sauce to match your taste. If you like a bit more heat, add a little extra red pepper flakes or even some hot sauce.
