Here's what you'll need:
20 baby potatoes, sliced in half
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons crispy bacon bits
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1 1 1/2-inch thick porterhouse steak, about 750 grams
salt and freshly ground pepper, to season

5 Place steak on a chopping board and slice the meat away from the bone. Slice both sections into 1-inch pieces.
6 Arrange bone and steak slices in an ovenproof dish. Dot steak with butter.
7 Cook steak in the preheated oven or in a turbo broiler set at 400°F for 4 to 6 minutes for medium doneness. Remove from oven or broiler. Let rest for 5 minutes.
