Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 pound shaved beef steak
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scrub and dry the potatoes. Pierce each a few times with a fork and bake directly on the oven rack for 45 minutes or until tender. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté onions and peppers until softened and caramelized, about 8 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, cook shaved steak until browned and cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Slice baked potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides, leaving a thin layer inside the skins.
- Brush the potato skins with remaining olive oil and place skin-side down on the baking sheet.
- Fill each skin with steak, then top with sautéed peppers and onions. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until cheese is melted. For a golden top, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to keep cleanup easy.
- Caramelize the onions for deeper flavor.
- Double the batch for larger crowds.
- Add a drizzle of cheese sauce or hot sauce for extra indulgence.
