Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare potatoes: Wash, dry, and pierce each potato with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Bake: Place directly on oven rack and bake for 45–60 minutes until tender and skins are crisp.
Cook steak: While potatoes bake, season steak with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder. Grill or pan-sear to desired doneness. Let rest before slicing.
Assemble: Slice the top of each potato, fluff insides with a fork, add butter and cheese. Top with sliced steak.
Finish: Add extra cheese, green onions, and any desired toppings. Serve hot.

Notes

For crispy potato skin, bake directly on the rack and increase heat to 450°F (230°C) for last 10 minutes.

Swap steak for portobello mushrooms or plant-based alternatives for a vegetarian version.

Use dairy-free cheese and vegan butter for a plant-based option.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven or microwave.
