This is comfort food done right—an easy weeknight dinner that feels like a full-on steakhouse moment at home.
📝 Ingredients :
Steak + broccoli:
2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or whatever you’ve got)
Salt + black pepper
1 tbsp oil
2 tbsp butter (optional, for finishing)
2 cups broccoli florets
Pinch of salt + pepper
Loaded baked potatoes:
2 large russet potatoes
Oil + salt (for the skins)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Sour cream (big spoonful, obviously)
Optional: butter, chives/green onions, bacon bits
🍽️ How to Make It :
1️⃣ Bake the Potatoes
Heat oven to 425°F. Poke potatoes with a fork, rub with oil + salt, and bake 50–60 minutes until soft inside and the skin’s a little crisp.
2️⃣ Season the Steak
Pat steak dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temp for 10–15 minutes so it cooks evenly.
3️⃣ Sear Like a Steakhouse
Heat a skillet over medium-high until it’s hot. Add oil, then sear steak 3–5 minutes per side (depends on thickness). Add butter at the end and spoon it over the top for extra flavor.
4️⃣ Cook the Broccoli
Steam or sauté broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper (a tiny butter finish is always a good idea).
5️⃣ Load the Potatoes
Split potatoes, fluff the inside, add cheddar so it melts, then top with a big dollop of sour cream. Plate with steak and broccoli and enjoy that steakhouse dinner vibe at home.
