Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Rub the cleaned and dried russet potatoes with olive oil, then generously sprinkle all sides with sea salt. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  3. 3

    While the potatoes are baking, trim any excess fat from the steak and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Drizzle with 2 tablespoon of avocado oil and coat with Cajun seasoning.

  4. 4

    Heat the remaining 2 tablespoon of avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak bites undisturbed for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional minute. Reduce heat to low and cook for one more minute.

  5. 5

    Move the steak to one side of the pan and add 2 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then toss the steak in the garlic butter.

  6. 6

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then whisk in the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and reduce for 3-5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Finish by stirring in fresh parsley and lemon juice.

  8. 8

    Lightly drop each baked potato to loosen the interior, then cut a slit down the center and fluff with a fork. Spread softened butter inside each potato.

  9. 9

    Divide cooked steak bites among the potatoes and spoon creamy parmesan sauce over the top. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
