Creating Steak Queso Rice is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium pot, combine the white rice and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
2. Sauté the Steak: While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced flank steak and season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the steak is browned and cooked through. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the cooked rice and mix well.
5. Add the Queso: Pour the queso cheese over the mixture, stirring until everything is well combined and the cheese is melted. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeños if desired.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a delicious dish ready in no time.
