For the Potatoes:

4 large russet potatoes scrubbed clean and patted dry
4 tablespoons olive oil
1.5 tablespoons sea salt for potato skins

For the Steak:

2 lbs steak NY strip, ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning low sodium
4 tablespoons avocado oil divided

For the Garlic Butter:

6 tablespoons butter softened
2 tablespoons garlic minced (about 8-10 cloves)

For the Parmesan Cream Sauce:

1 ½ cups heavy cream
⅔ cup parmesan grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
Juice of 2 lemon wedges
½ to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Potatoes: Coat russet potatoes with olive oil and sea salt. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 50–60 minutes until crispy outside and fork-tender inside.
Step 2: Prepare the Steak Bites: Cut steak into 2-inch pieces, season with Cajun spices, and sear in a hot skillet with avocado oil. Add garlic butter, toss to coat, and cook until golden and juicy.
Step 3: Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce: Sauté garlic in butter, whisk in heavy cream, then add red pepper flakes, parmesan, and black pepper. Simmer until thick, then stir in lemon juice and parsley.
Step 4: Assemble the Loaded Potatoes: Split the baked potatoes open, fluff the insides, add butter, top with steak bites, and drizzle with parmesan cream sauce. Serve hot.
