Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 2 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 cup queso cheese
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Cook the long-grain white rice according to the package instructions. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and set it aside.
2. Season the sirloin steak with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté the vegetables until they’re softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the steak and sautéed veggies. Stir in the melted queso cheese until everything is evenly combined and the cheese is fully incorporated.
5. Top the Steak and Queso Rice with the sliced steak and serve warm for a deliciously cheesy and hearty meal.
Notes
Consider garnishing with chopped fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, or sliced green onions for added freshness.
Serve alongside roasted vegetables, a crisp salad, or warm tortillas for a complete Tex-Mex feast.
