Loaded Baked Potato Steak Bites (The Coziest Steakhouse-Inspired Dinner!)

How to Make Loaded Baked Potato Steak Bites (Step-by-Step)

1. Bake the Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Rub potatoes with olive oil, then coat generously with sea salt.

3. Place on a lined tray and bake 50–60 minutes until fork-tender.

4. Give each potato a small drop onto the counter to fluff the inside—trust me, it works!

2. Prep the Steak

1. Trim the steak and cut into large bite-size cubes.

2. Toss with half the avocado oil, Cajun seasoning, and kosher salt.

3. Sear the Steak

1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high until very hot.

2. Add remaining avocado oil.

3. Spread out steak pieces—don’t crowd them!

4. Sear 2 minutes untouched, flip, cook 1 minute more.

5. Lower heat and cook 1 more minute.

4. Garlic Butter Finish

1. Push steak to one side.

2. Add half the butter + half the garlic to the empty side.

3. Stir until fragrant, then toss steak in the melted garlic butter.

4. Transfer to a bowl and loosely cover.

5. Make the Parmesan Sauce

1. In the same skillet, add remaining butter and garlic.

2. Once fragrant, pour in heavy cream.

3. Simmer 3–5 minutes.

4. Add parmesan, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.

5. Finish with lemon juice and parsley.

6. Assemble

1. Split each baked potato.

2. Fluff inside gently with a fork.

3. Add a bit of butter (optional but amazing).

4. Pile in steak bites.

5. Pour warm parmesan sauce all over the top.

6. Serve instantly—these are best piping hot.
