BAKED POTATOES WITH RIB-EYE STEAK HASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F
• Rub potatoes with vegetable oil; sprinkle with coarse salt.
• Pierce potato with fork several times and place directly on oven rack with a baking sheet on a lower rack to catch any drips.
• Bake until tender, about 1 hour.
• Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear until brown but still very rare, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer steak to plate.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add bell peppers, onion, and jalapeños to skillet. Sauté until peppers are soft and onion caramelizes, about 30 minutes.
• Cut steak crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Halve slices lengthwise into strips.
• Add cream, chopped thyme, and steak to pepper mixture.
• Simmer until steak is heated through and cream thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cut cross in potatoes and press on sides to open slightly.
• Add salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon butter to each and mash slightly with fork. Top each with steak mixture.
• Garnish with thyme if desired.
