Tender baked russets stuffed with juicy steak chunks, gooey cheese, tangy sour cream and crunchy bacon pieces.

# Ingredients:

→ Potatoes

01 - 4 mid-size russet potatoes
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 teaspoon black pepper

→ Steak

05 - 1 pound sirloin steak, diced into small chunks
06 - 1 tablespoon butter
07 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1 teaspoon onion powder

→ Toppings

09 - 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
10 - 1/4 cup bacon bits
11 - 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
12 - 1/2 cup sour cream
13 - 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

# Steps:

01 - Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up.
02 - Rinse potatoes under cold water and use a brush to get all the dirt off their skins.
03 - Use a kitchen towel or paper towel to get the potatoes completely dry.
04 - Stick a fork into each potato multiple times so steam can get out while they cook.
05 - Coat each potato all over with olive oil using your hands.
06 - Dust the potatoes with salt and pepper, making sure they're evenly covered.
07 - Put the potatoes right on the oven rack or on a baking tray if you prefer.
08 - Let the potatoes bake for 45-60 minutes until you can easily poke them with a fork.
09 - As the potatoes cook, chop your sirloin into similar-sized small pieces for even cooking.
10 - Put a big skillet on medium-high heat and drop in the butter.
11 - When butter bubbles, toss in the steak pieces without cramming them together.
12 - Stir the steak now and then for 3-5 minutes until it's browned all over and cooked how you like it.
13 - Toss the garlic and onion powder onto the steak and mix well to spread the flavor.
14 - Take the steak off the heat and keep it warm somewhere nearby.
15 - Grab the hot potatoes from the oven with tongs or oven mitts when they're done.
16 - Wait a bit until the potatoes aren't too hot to handle.
17 - Make a deep cut along each potato's top to create a pocket for your fillings.
18 - Use a fork to gently break up the potato inside, making it soft and fluffy.
19 - Stuff each potato with the cheddar, sour cream, green onions, bacon and mozzarella.
20 - Put the loaded potatoes back in the oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese gets all melty and bubbly.
21 - Take the potatoes out once everything's nice and hot with melted cheese.
22 - Pile the steak pieces on top of each cheesy potato.
23 - Enjoy right away with extra green onions or bacon on top if you want.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Let your potatoes cool down for 5 minutes before eating for the best taste.
