Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup sour cream

4 green onions, chopped

½ cup cooked crispy bacon bits

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes clean and pierce them several times with a fork. Rub each potato with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

      Bake the potatoes: Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

        Cook the steak bites: While the potatoes are baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the steak pieces and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat.

          Prepare the toppings: While the steak is cooking, prepare the toppings. In a bowl, mix together the shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, bacon bits, and parsley. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

            Assemble the loaded potatoes: Once the potatoes are baked, carefully remove them from the oven. Cut each potato lengthwise down the middle and gently fluff the insides with a fork.

              Load the toppings: Stuff each potato with the steak bites and top generously with the cheese and sour cream mixture. You can add extra cheese on top if you’d like!

                Final bake (optional): If you prefer melted cheese on top, return the loaded potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, garnish with more green onions or parsley if desired, and serve hot.
