🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need

The Foundation

 4 Large Russet potatoes (scrubbed and dried)

 2 tbsp Olive oil

 1 tsp Coarse sea salt

The Steak & Marinade

 1 lb Sirloin or Ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes

 2 tbsp Unsalted butter

 3 cloves Garlic, minced

 1 tsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped

The Savory Cream Sauce

 1 cup Heavy cream

 ½ cup Beef broth (low sodium)

 ½ cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

 1 tsp Dijon mustard

 Salt & Pepper to taste

The Loaded Toppings

 ½ cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

 ¼ cup Crispy bacon bits

 2 tbsp Fresh chives, sliced

 1 dollop Sour cream

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

 1. Prep the Spuds 🥔

   Preheat your oven to **200°C**. Prick the potatoes with a fork, rub with olive oil and salt, and bake directly on the rack for **60 minutes** until the skin is crisp and the inside is fluffy.

 2. Sear the Steak 🥩

   In a hot cast-iron skillet, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add the steak cubes in a single layer. Sear for **2–3 minutes** per side until a golden-brown crust forms. Add the remaining butter, garlic, and rosemary for the final minute to baste. Remove steak and set aside.

 3. Whisk the Sauce 🍯

   In the same skillet (keep those tasty steak drippings!), pour in the beef broth to deglaze. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Let it simmer over medium heat for **4–5 minutes** until thickened. Whisk in the Parmesan until smooth.

 4. Assemble the Masterpiece 🍽️

   Slice each potato down the center and fluff the insides with a fork. Stuff with a handful of cheddar cheese, then pile on the seared steak bites.

 5. The Final Pour ✨

   Generously drizzle the savory cream sauce over the steak. Top with crispy bacon, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
