Description
A delicious recipe for loaded baked potatoes topped with steak, cheese, and other savory ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Scrub the potatoes under cold water, then pierce each potato several times with a fork.
- Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, season the flank steak with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the steak. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Cut a slit down the center of each potato and gently squeeze the ends to open them up. Fluff the insides with a fork.
- Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced steak, sour cream, chopped green onions, and crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For added flavor, try marinating the steak in your favorite steak sauce for a few hours before cooking.
- You can substitute the flank steak with grilled chicken or sautéed mushrooms for a different twist.
