Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the russet potatoes under running water and dry them. Prick the skin several times with a fork.
  3. Rub each potato with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  4. Place the seasoned potatoes on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes until fork-tender.
  5. Season the sirloin steak with salt and black pepper on both sides and let it sit at room temperature.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add butter, and sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  7. Once baked, slice the potatoes lengthwise and gently mash the insides with a fork.
  8. Top the potatoes with seared steak bites and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  9. Return the assembled potatoes to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
