Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 1 pound of thinly sliced ribeye steak or sirloin
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups of provolone cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: hot sauce for extra kick

Instructions

Preparation:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and poke holes in them with a fork.
  3. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender.
  5. While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add olive oil to the skillet, then sauté the sliced onions and green bell peppers until they are soft.
  7. Add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  8. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  10. Slice each potato open and fluff the insides with a fork.
  11. Top each potato with the steak, onion, and pepper mixture.
  12. Finally, sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese on top and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Ensure the potatoes are fully cooked by testing with a fork.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak before cooking.
  • Feel free to add your favorite seasonings to the steak mixture.
  • Keep an eye on the cheese to prevent burning.
