Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

4 large russet baking potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons butter (for potato flesh)

Steak

12 oz ribeye or sirloin steak
Salt and black pepper, to season

Parmesan Cream Sauce

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Garnish

2 tablespoons chopped chives or sliced green onions

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean, prick them a few times with a fork, then rub each potato with olive oil and salt. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, until the skins are crisp and the insides are tender.
Cook the Steak: While the potatoes bake, season the steak generously with salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring the sauce is rich and creamy.
Assemble the Stuffed Potatoes: Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice each potato lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl, leaving a sturdy shell. Mix the potato flesh with butter and a pinch of salt. Layer the steak pieces into each potato shell, then generously top with Parmesan cream sauce.
Bake and Serve: Place the stuffed potatoes on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to warm through and meld flavors. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions for freshness and color.

Notes

Choose large russet potatoes for the best texture and shape.
Rest steak for 5-10 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for optimal melting and flavor.
Do not overfill the potato shells to prevent overflowing during the final bake.
Season each component with salt and pepper separately to deepen flavor layers.
