Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes to remove all dirt and then rinse and dry thoroughly. Poke several holes into each potato with a fork and then place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the potatoes lightly with oil. Generously sprinkle each potato with salt and then place them in the oven. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until fork tender. They should be crisp on the outside and tender inside.

When the potatoes are almost finished baking, cut the steak into bite-size pieces, about ½-inch in size. Sprinkle the meat generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy flat-bottomed stainless skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. When the butter has melted, swirl to coat the pan. Add about half of the meat and spread it across the pan. Cook for 1 minute and then use a large spatula to flip the pieces over. Cook 1 more minute. Use a spatula to transfer the meat to a plate and then repeat with the remaining meat.
The entire cooking process for the meat should only take a few minutes total. When the meat has finished cooking, loosely tent foil over the cooked steak bites on the plate. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet while it melts scrape up any pan drippings. Pour the buttery drippings over the steak bites.

When the potatoes are finished, remove them from the oven and slice each one down the center. Fluff the inside of each potato with a fork and top the potatoes with steak.
Add the additional toppings of your choice and serve warm.
