Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean and patted dry
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons sea salt
- 2 lbs steak (NY strip, ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cajun seasonings, low sodium
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced (about 8–10 cloves)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2/3 cup parmesan, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
- 2 wedges lemon, juice of
- 1/2–1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Rub potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle all sides with sea salt, and place on the prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Trim steak of excess fat and silver skin. Cut into 2-inch pieces and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Coat with cajun seasoning.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak bites undisturbed for 2 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for an additional 1 minute. Reduce heat to low and cook another minute.
- Move steak to one side of the pan, add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Toss steak in the garlic butter to coat, cooking for another minute. Transfer steak to a bowl and cover with foil to retain moisture.
- In the same skillet with residual butter and garlic, add 2 tablespoons butter and remaining 1 tablespoon garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, and whisk until thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in parsley and lemon juice.
- Lightly drop each baked potato to loosen the interior. Cut a slit down the center and fluff the inside with a fork. Spread remaining butter inside each potato.
- Divide the cooked steak evenly among the potatoes, spoon over the parmesan cream sauce, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, let the steak marinate in cajun seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- This recipe can be customized by adding your favorite toppings such as sour cream or chives.
