– 2 lbs steak (NY strip, ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin)
– 2 tsp kosher salt
– 2 tbsp garlic (minced)
– 6 tbsp butter (softened)
– 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
– 4 tbsp avocado oil (divided)

– 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
– 2 tbsp fresh parsley (minced)

Instructions:
1. Prep the Potatoes:
– Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
– Rub the scrubbed russet potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the skins are crispy.
2. Cook the Steak Bites:
– Trim the steak and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Coat the steak bites with avocado oil and Cajun seasoning.
– Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak bites until golden brown on all sides. Reduce the heat, add minced garlic and softened butter, and toss to coat the steak with the garlic-butter mixture.
3. Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:
– Using the same skillet, add more butter and garlic. Whisk in heavy cream and let it simmer until slightly thickened.
– Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and freshly cracked black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer until it’s smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble the Loaded Baked Potatoes:
– Once the baked potatoes are done, fluff the insides with a fork and add a dab of butter.
– Fill each potato with the garlic butter steak bites, then drizzle generously with the creamy Parmesan sauce.
