Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 8 oz ribeye steak
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup crispy bacon bits
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the russet potatoes clean and poke holes in them with a fork.
- Bake the potatoes directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the ribeye steak with salt and pepper before searing for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, cut them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Top with shredded cheddar cheese to allow it to melt.
- Add crispy bacon bits and dollops of sour cream, finishing with chopped chives or green onions.
- Serve immediately alongside sliced steak.
