Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes scrubbed clean, unpierced for baking
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil for coating potato skins

  • 2 lbs steak NY strip, ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin, trimmed
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt for seasoning steak
  • 2 tablespoon garlic minced, ~8–10 cloves
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter softened, divided
  • 2 tablespoon Cajun seasoning low sodium preferred, adjust salt
  • 4 tablespoon avocado oil high smoke point, divided
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream for parmesan sauce
  • ⅔ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley minced, optional garnish
  • Juice of 2 lemon wedges for sauce brightness
  • ½ –1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper for seasoning

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle all sides with sea salt. Place on the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the potatoes for 50–60 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Trim any excess fat or silver skin from the steak and cut into 2-inch pieces.
  5. Drizzle steak bites with 2 tablespoon avocado oil and coat evenly with Cajun seasoning.
  6. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoon avocado oil. Add steak bites and cook undisturbed 2 minutes per side until golden. Reduce heat to low and cook an additional minute.
  7. Push the steak to one side of the pan. Add 2 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon minced garlic; sauté until fragrant. Toss steak in garlic butter to coat evenly.
  8. Remove steak from pan and place in a bowl, tented with foil to keep warm.
  9. In the same pan, add remaining 2 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon garlic; sauté until fragrant. Slowly whisk in heavy cream and simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  10. Add parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes; whisk until sauce thickens. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Off heat, stir in parsley and lemon juice.
  11. Remove potatoes from oven and gently tap each on the counter to fluff the interior. Cut down the center and use a fork to spread and fluff inside.
  12. Spoon the steak bites evenly into the baked potatoes and drizzle with parmesan cream sauce.
  13. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with parsley.
