Instructions
Creating Steak Queso Rice is a simple process if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine the rice and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.
2. Prepare the Steak: While the rice cooks, season the ribeye steak with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
3. Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are tender. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir well to combine.
6. Add Queso: Pour in the queso cheese and mix until everything is well incorporated and heated through.
7. Slice the Steak: Slice the rested steak into thin strips and layer it over the rice and queso mixture.
8. Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped cilantro and serve with avocado slices if desired. Enjoy your delicious Steak Queso Rice!
