Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Scrub and dry potatoes. Rub each with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and place directly on the oven rack. Bake for 45–60 minutes until skins are crispy and insides are tender.
Season steak cubes with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear steak in batches for about 2 minutes per side until browned. Set aside.
Reduce heat to medium, melt butter in the same skillet, and add garlic and herbs. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return steak bites to the pan and toss to coat in garlic butter.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat heavy cream. Stir in parmesan, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly, stirring often.
Slice baked potatoes open and fluff insides. Spoon on parmesan sauce, add steak bites, and drizzle with more sauce. Garnish with parsley or green onions before serving.

Notes

Use completely dry potatoes to ensure crispy skins.

Sirloin steak is a great balance of tenderness and affordability.

For extra richness, mix in sharp cheddar or mozzarella to the sauce.

Reheat steak bites separately to maintain texture.

Microwave potatoes for faster cooking, finishing in the oven for crispiness.
