Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 lb sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh chives
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Scrub the potatoes, dry them, and pierce several times with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Bake directly on the oven rack for 45-60 minutes until tender.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the seasoned steak bites in olive oil until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
