# Instructions:
01 -
Coat potatoes with olive oil and roll them in sea salt. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 425°F and bake for about 1 hour, or until fork-tender.
02 -
Trim excess fat from the steak and cut into 2-inch pieces. Season with Cajun seasoning and 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
03 -
Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a cast iron skillet until hot. Add steak pieces and sear for 2 minutes without moving them. Flip and cook for 1 minute, then reduce the heat and cook 1 additional minute before removing from heat.
04 -
Push steak bites to one side of the skillet. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic in the empty side until fragrant. Stir steak bites in the garlic butter for 1 minute, then transfer everything to a bowl and loosely cover with foil.
05 -
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, then slowly pour in heavy cream. Simmer on low heat while stirring for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Add red pepper flakes, grated parmesan, and black pepper. Whisk until creamy. Remove from heat and mix in parsley and fresh lemon juice.

Drop baked potatoes from a slight height to fluff the interior. Slice the tops open and use a fork to loosen the insides. Rub the remaining butter over the potatoes, pile on steak bites, and generously pour cream sauce on top. Serve immediately.
