Ingredients
Scale
1 lb of flank steak (or sirloin as a substitute)
1 cup long-grain white rice (brown rice for a healthier option)
2 cups beef broth (chicken broth works as well)
1 cup queso blanco (or a cheddar cheese blend)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced (any color for vibrancy)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cook the Rice: Rinse 1 cup of long-grain white rice under cold water until clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of beef broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Prepare the Steak: Season 1 lb of flank steak with salt, pepper, and cumin. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.
Combine It All: Fluff the cooked rice and add it to the skillet with sautéed vegetables. Stir in the sliced steak and 1 cup of queso blanco. Gently fold until queso is melted and combined.
Serve and Garnish: Serve the Steak Queso Rice on plates and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
