Recipe Tips

Reheating – Heat potatoes in the oven, instant potato, microwave, or oven. The oven will not crisp the skin, so use one of the other three methods for this.
Garlic butter – for the best flavor, use garlic butter. It adds that signature Steakhouse flavor. Regular butter could be used, of course.
Chop steak – To ensure you get a steak in every bite, chop the steak into bite-sized pieces. This will evenly distribute the steak so you can enjoy every single bite.
Use any method for baking potatoes – If you don’t have leftover baked potatoes and need to prepare them for this meal, use whichever method to cook them. You can air-fry the potatoes, bake them, or even microwave when in a pinch.

Recipe Short Cuts

If you need to make this recipe but are extra short on time, here are a few ideas that can help make this recipe even faster!

Chop leftover steak before storing. After enjoying your steak dinner, take an additional step before storing it in the refrigerator. Go ahead and chop the steak so you can simply load the potato when ready to make this loaded steak potato meal.
Use leftover baked potatoes – Just like the steak, leftovers come together to create a whole new meal.

Meal prep – Build your potatoes for meal prep. Load them with the chopped steak, cheese, and cold garlic butter. Then, store in an air-tight container and simply place in the oven or air-fryer when ready to bake up. You can make a few for a quick lunch during the week.
