Ingredients

  • 2 large baking potatoes
  • EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for liberal drizzling
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup super-sharp white cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish
  • 1/4 cup chives
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 4 flat iron or strip steaks
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Yields: 4


Preparation

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Rub potatoes with a little oil and season skins with salt and pepper. Roast about 40 minutes until just tender when poked with tines of a fork. Remove potatoes and cool.

When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, halve potatoes lengthwise. Scoop out the flesh, season with salt and pepper, and mash with sour cream, butter, cheese, horseradish and chives. Fill potato skins with mashed potatoes and wrap each potato entirely in bacon, overlapping slices a little as you wrap around the skins. Arrange on baking rack over baking sheet and roast until bacon crispy, 15-20 minutes.

Bring steaks to room temp and dress with Worcestershire, a little EVOO, lots of salt and coarse black pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to smoking. Add steak and cook 8 minutes, turning once, for medium-rare. Allow steaks to rest a few minutes then slice, sprinkle with parsley and garlic, and drizzle with EVOO.

Serve sliced steak with stuffed potato skins alongside.
