Ingredients
- 4 Russet potatoes
- 1 pound Steak (ribeye or sirloin), cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes, pierce them with a fork, and bake them directly on the oven rack for 45-50 minutes until tender. While the potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then sear it until browned and cooked to your liking, about 3-5 minutes per side. Set the steak aside.
2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, then pour in the heavy cream. Simmer the cream, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
3. Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly, then slice them open lengthwise. Fluff the insides with a fork and stuff them with the cooked steak pieces. Generously drizzle the Parmesan cream sauce over the stuffed potatoes, ensuring each bite is coated in the luxurious, savory sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve the Steak-Stuffed Baked Potatoes warm.
Notes
For a twist, you can substitute the steak with chicken or shrimp, or opt for a vegetarian filling using sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or a blend of roasted vegetables. The Parmesan cream sauce also works beautifully with these alternative fillings, making it a versatile and customizable dish to suit various dietary preferences.
