Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1 lb 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

½ cup sour cream

¼ cup scallions, finely chopped

¼ cup crispy bacon bits (optional)

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Bake the Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes under cold water and dry them with a towel. Prick each potato several times with a fork. Rub them with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes or until soft when pierced with a fork.

      Prepare the Steak Bites: While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. In a bowl, toss the steak pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

        Cook the Steak: When the skillet is hot, add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Assemble the Loaded Potatoes: Once the potatoes are done, carefully cut them in half lengthwise. Use a fork to fluff the insides slightly.

            Top the Potatoes: Start by adding a generous scoop of sour cream to each half, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese. Then, pile on the steak bites and sprinkle with crispy bacon bits (if using) and chopped scallions.

              Melt the Cheese: If desired, place the loaded potatoes back in the oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
