Indulge in our quick & easy steak-stuffed potato skins with creamy Gorgonzola—a comfort food favorite for a satisfying dinner.
Ingredients
- • Large russet potatoes: 4
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Boneless ribeye steak: 1 pound
- • Gorgonzola cheese: 1 cup, crumbled
- • Sour cream: 1/2 cup
- • Chives: 2 tablespoons, chopped
- • Unsalted butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Bacon: 4 slices, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 Pierce the potatoes with a fork and rub them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Bake them for about 20 minutes or until tender. Allow them to cool slightly before handling.
- 3 While the potatoes are baking, season the ribeye steak with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing into thin strips.
- 4 Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a thin layer inside the skin. Brush the insides with melted butter and sprinkle with paprika.
- 5 Place the potato skins back on the baking sheet. Fill each skin with sliced steak, and top with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melty and bubbly.
- 6 Remove from oven and garnish with a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives. Serve immediately for maximum indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
- • These decadent potato skins are a meal in themselves, but you can elevate the experience by serving them alongside a crisp Caesar salad or lightly dressed mixed greens to balance the richness. For a beverage pairing, a robust red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon will complement the steak and Gorgonzola beautifully, while a cold, crisp lager provides a refreshing contrast. For a comforting finishing touch, consider serving a small bowl of homemade coleslaw on the side. The tangy crunch of the slaw pairs well with the creamy, savory flavors of the potato skins, making for a well-rounded comfort food experience.
Storage Tips
To store any leftovers, place the stuffed potato skins in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake them for about 10 minutes until heated through. For a quicker option, use a microwave, but note that this may soften the potato skins slightly. For best results, reheat in the oven to maintain the crispy texture.
