Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Rub the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle them generously with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and the insides are soft when pierced with a knife.
About 10 to 15 minutes before the potatoes are done, heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the hot skillet, then place the steaks in the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side, without moving the steaks, to develop a golden crust.
Flip the steaks and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, the smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the pan. Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and aromatics for 2-3 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the steaks with a meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. Remove the steaks when they are 5°F below your desired doneness as they will continue to cook while resting.
Transfer the steaks to a plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
When the potatoes are done, slice them open lengthwise and fluff the insides with a fork. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, 2 tablespoons of sour cream, 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of chopped chives to each potato.
Plate the steaks alongside the loaded baked potatoes and serve immediately. Enjoy your hearty 'Steak N Baked' meal!
