Ingredients
Potatoes
- 4 Russet potatoes
Steak Filling
- 1 pound steak (ribeye or sirloin), cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Scrub the Russet potatoes clean and pierce them a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until they are soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Season the small pieces of steak with salt and black pepper. Once the skillet is hot, sear the steak pieces until they develop a brown crust and are cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Lower the skillet heat to medium and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer gently until it thickens slightly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Stuffed Potatoes: When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes so they can be handled safely. Cut each potato lengthwise and use a fork to fluff the inside. Fill the potato shells with the cooked steak pieces. Spoon the warm Parmesan cream sauce over the stuffed potatoes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top of each stuffed potato if using. Serve warm, ideally paired with a crisp salad or a glass of red wine to complement the rich flavors.
Notes
- Use Russet potatoes for the best fluffy texture when baked.
- For medium-rare steak, cook the steak pieces for about 2-3 minutes per side depending on thickness.
- Parmesan cream sauce will thicken further as it cools; reheat gently if needed before serving.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds a nice color contrast and freshness but can be omitted.
- Leftover steak can be used cold as a sandwich filling or for another meal.
