To make a loaded baked potato with steak bites, you need a few key items. Start with four large russet potatoes. Their thick skin holds the fluff inside well. Next, get one pound of sirloin steak. Cut it into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. You will also need two tablespoons of olive oil to cook the steak and potatoes. For flavor, use garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Don't forget one cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese for that gooey, cheesy goodness! You’ll also need half a cup of sour cream to add creaminess. Lastly, green onions and crispy bacon bits can give your dish that extra pop. You can find the full recipe at the end.

Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1/4 cup crispy bacon bits (optional)

2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Scrub the russet potatoes under running water and pat them dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

      Rub each potato with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt. Place them directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until the skins are crispy and a fork easily pierces through the flesh.

        While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and then the seasoned steak bites (garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper). Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak is browned and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare is around 135°F). Remove from heat.

          Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice each potato open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork.

            Add a tablespoon of butter to each potato, followed by a generous scoop of sour cream, and then the shredded cheddar cheese.

              Top each potato with the sizzling steak bites, additional cheese if desired, bacon bits, and sliced green onions.

                Return the loaded potatoes to the oven for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese and heat everything through.

                  Remove and serve hot, garnished with extra green onions.
