# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Rub russet potatoes with olive oil, then evenly coat with sea salt. Arrange potatoes on tray and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a fork pierces easily.
02 -
Trim the steak of excess fat or connective tissue. Cut into dice-sized cubes. Pour over half the avocado oil and all the Cajun seasoning, tossing to coat each piece evenly.
03 -
Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high. Add two tablespoons of avocado oil. Place steak cubes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for two minutes. Flip and brown for one additional minute. Reduce heat to low and cook one more minute. Transfer steak to a bowl and tent with foil to keep warm.
04 -
Push all steak bits to one side of the skillet. Add half the butter and half the garlic. Stir until aromatic. Toss steak in the garlic butter for one minute until coated and glossy.
05 -
Add remaining butter and garlic to the same pan, cooking until fragrant. Gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for several minutes. Whisk in the parmesan and chili flakes until the sauce thickens. Adjust salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice.
06 -
Drop a baked potato from a short height onto a tray to fluff its interior. Make a lengthwise cut, gently fluff with a fork, and spread a portion of leftover butter inside. Spoon steak bites into the potato. Ladle over generous amounts of warm parmesan cream sauce and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For maximum tenderness, do not overcrowd the skillet while searing steak bites.
