Ingredients
Instructions
- Bake the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce each potato a few times with a fork, then bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes, until fork-tender.
- Season the steak. While the potatoes bake, pat the steak cubes dry and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the steak bites. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add the steak bites in a single layer, searing for 1-2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan — work in batches if needed.
- Prepare the potatoes. Slice each baked potato open lengthwise and fluff the inside with a fork. Add a tablespoon of butter to each potato and let it melt in.
- Load them up. Top each potato with shredded cheddar cheese, a generous portion of seared steak bites, a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.
- Serve immediately while warm, with extra toppings on the side if desired.

Tips for Success
- Let the steak come to room temperature before searing for the most even cook.
- Don’t move the steak bites around too much while searing — this helps develop a good crust.
- For extra crispy potato skin, rub the outside with olive oil and salt before baking.
Frequently Asked Questions
