Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Rice:

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup rice (white or brown)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Queso Mixture:

  • 1 cup queso blanco or melted cheese of choice
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Prepare the Rice: Stir in the rice, cooking for 1–2 minutes to lightly toast it. Pour in the beef broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15–20 minutes or until rice is tender and cooked through.
  4. Add Queso Mixture: Once the rice is ready, stir in the queso blanco and sour cream until creamy and fully combined.
  5. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked steak to the skillet and mix everything together. Cook for another 2–3 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot!
