Loaded Steak Potato (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 lbs steak (choose entrecôte, faux-filet, or bavette).
02 - 2 tablespoons cajun spices.
03 - 4 tablespoons avocado oil.
04 - 1 teaspoon black pepper (cracked).
05 - 2/3 cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated).
06 - 1/2-1 teaspoon chili flakes.
07 - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature.
08 - 4 medium or large potatoes (use Belle de Fontenay or Bintje).
09 - 2 teaspoons coarse salt.
10 - 4 tablespoons olive oil.
11 - 2 lemon slices.
12 - 1.5 tablespoons fine sea salt.
13 - 1 1/2 cups heavy cream.
14 - 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic.
15 - 2 tablespoons parsley, fresh and chopped.

# Instructions:

01 - Flip the oven on to 220°C (425°F). Lay out parchment paper on a baking tray for the potatoes.
02 - Rub all sides of the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with sea salt. Skip piercing, just put them on the tray.
03 - Let potatoes bake for about 50 minutes to an hour, or until they’re easy to poke with a fork. Get the steak pieces ready while waiting.
04 - Cut the steak into chunks about 5 cm (2 inches) thick, trimming off any extra fat first. Toss with avocado oil and cajun spices to coat.
05 - Heat leftover avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. It should be sizzling hot before searing.
06 - Let steak chunks sear for about 2 minutes untouched to develop a good golden crust. Turn them over and cook just one minute more.
07 - Toss butter and minced garlic into the skillet with steak. Stir it around to cover everything and let out a fragrant aroma.
08 - Move the steak pieces off to rest for a few minutes. Use the same pan to get started on the sauce.
09 - Pour in the cream and simmer until it thickens up nicely. Toss in parmesan, seasonings, chopped parsley, and lemon juice before stirring well.
10 - Once you pull the potatoes from the oven, drop them from a bit of a height to break them open inside. Slice and spread butter inside.
11 - Stuff each fluffy potato with the steak bites and be generous with the warm sauce drizzled over.
12 - Bring to the table right away while everything’s fresh and steamy, with the sauce nice and creamy.
