This recipe for Mediterranean steak loaded potatoes came together when I wanted something filling but not too heavy. I baked up some potatoes, cooked the steak with a few veggies, and then piled it all together with tzatziki and feta. It’s the kind of meal that feels comforting, but still fresh, and it’s easy enough to throw together on a weeknight! 🍽️
